'95 940: bypassing the heater core 900

Good morning all,

Since we lost our lovely '95 940 to a texting driver, I've been shopping for another.

I'm going to look at another '95 this week. A friend of mine is a mechanic, and this one belonged to his mother-in-law. About 200K, and has likely been well maintained.

I think I can buy it dirt cheap (around $500.00) because it either has a bad heater core or control valve. If I buy it, I need to bypass the heater core in order to be able to drive it.

I know that I can pull the inlet and outlet hoses from the firewall, but they're tough to get to. Is there any downside to simply disconnecting those hoses at the engine and running a hose between the outlet and inlet at the engine block?

Monty
