Wyocobra,
I am not much on Chevy engines but I think you should leave the bypass hose in. That allows some water circulation before the thermostat opens. I don't run a heater on my stroker either but I did leave the bypass hose in. Another way if you just don't like the hose showing is to drill a couple of small holes in the thermostat flange. There are previous threads about this and even a couple of pictures of how people drilled the holes. On a hot day you want water to circulate from the moment you start your engine.
