Default When fitting an oil cooler, what do I join up the old hoses?

Just fitting my oil cooler, and just want to check whats the best thing to do with the old hoses that connect to the original ford oil cooler? one goes to the head tank, which is fine i can block that off, but one looks like it goes into the head or block (havent got underneath to proerply check that one yet) do i just block that off as well? or join both the old hoses together?

Is this an S2??

If so, the hose that comes from the Y-Piece and goes to the Oil Cooler can be turned enough to connect straight to the port on the Injector Plate, eliminating the need for a Join.

Gra,

Those pipes are used to warm the oil with the coolant (as water heats quicker than oil).

Not sure how the flow works on an RST, but make sure you keep the water completing the circuit it's supossed to follow.
