heater core bypass?

My heater core just went out on me. I live in the Philippines and I have absolutely have no use for a heater cuz it's soooo hot here in the first place. We only have 2 seasons, hot and wet!

On with the question... Is it possible to just bypass the heater core? seeing that i have no use for it instead of changing it i would rather just bypass it. any input would be appreciated...

Yes you can. Just take both hoses off the heater core and connect them together with a nipple and two hose clamps.

I think my heater core is messing up aswell, i had smoke coming out of my vents. I want to try doing this bypass myself since a mechanic quoted me at ~350. What tools did you use? Can you take some pictures of what you did so i can have a better reference so i can take a wack at it
