Mishimoto Transmission Cooler Install w/OEM Converter Cooler Bypass

[HowellC]

I just finished installing a Mishimoto transmission cooler with Full Send Diesel braided lines that bypass the OEM Converter Cooler on a '06 2500HD.

For those that have bypassed the converter cooler, did you leave it in place or remove it?

If you removed it, what did you do with the coolant lines?
Connect them together where the converter cooler was or remove and block them off?

The driver side seems easy enough to block off with a threaded plug at the block but the passenger side also "T's" to the heater core so can't just install a threaded block plug.

I just put 8an caps on the exchanger and left it in place so if it fails it does not leak out all my coolant. I will eventually remove it but just need to aquire the plumbing parts to do it. Maybe somebody can chime in with a parts list.
