Whilst you have all of the engine out of the bay. See the PAS cooling lines?
Well follow each side as far back as you can and then just put a stright pipe between the two ends. I think one is down near the rear xmember and the other is on the bottle.

It makes sod all real difference to the temp of the fluid and we don't live in the desert. But removing it tidys up the bay and gives you much more room to do a timing belt swap on your new engine at a later date.
