Clamp a piece of rubber hose (gas line) over the hole, with a hose clamp directly over the hole in the line. Used this many times to fix hydraulic lines on heavy equipment in the field. Depending on the situation, may not be a permanent fix but should last a long time.

also has anyone else heard of bypassing this just getting a new hose and cutting off the lines

Yes, that is the HWBP mod.

I did that to my 2000 by running new heater hoses and no T's.

Use a section of the old hose to join the two nipples left.

No ill effects.

You do not need to put anything on the elbows sticking out of the intake, just leave em blank. The heater hoses that connect to the elbows, just connect them together with a elbow or some other device.

I did this to mine years ago with no ill effects.
