Well i have a 32/36 weber on it with a electric choke .. can i just cap the upper intake port off as well as the lower intake and just run the hose from the heater core to the back of the watter pump??? or will this cause temp issues in the intake 
if i remember right i still routed the coolant through the intake. I think it helps it run better on start up in cold weather. I dont really see a reason why you couldnt skip the intake though. I dont think coolant has to flow through it.
