auto trans cooler removal.

Since i done the getrag conversion i been wanting to get rid of the trans cooler on the side of the block. what should i do with the coolant lines that go to the cooler and leave the cooler. Can i cap them off at the block or do i have to make them into a loop? thanks

Just remove all the hose and fittings and plug the holes.

Well what I would really do is plumb in a coolant filter with those hoses.

anybody know what size plugs i need for them. I would like to be able to just do it all at once instead of having to take it apart, runs for parts that probably would have to be ordered, then reassemble it all.
