i have a question regarding eliminating it, does the orientation of the hoses to the core matter once the valve is removed? everything ive read is thermostat to lower hose and water pump to upper hose, however 97+ came opposite, i have a 95, and just cant figure out how it needs to be oriented

I have a '95 and it has a heater control valve. If I remove it and install '97+ hoses so that coolant constantly flows through the heater core is the heat simply regulated by the dashboard controls? I'm all for eliminating useless parts but this sounds too easy and makes me wonder why they were installed in the first place.
I take it that the inside diameters of the '97+ hoses are compatible with the '95 components (heater core, water pump, etc.).

This is SO easy. Take yours off. Put the new ones on. They only go on one way.
