I removed the heater hoses from my Camaro many years ago. You can get rubber caps that are made to go over the heater core tubes. I used plugs in the water pump and intake.

When I wanted to bypass the heater core in my 1978 Z28 the shop working on it installed a piece that had the correct diameter nipples, where you just attached the hoses to it, tightened, and it worked fine for many years. No leaks.

will gently blow out the core and plug the ends.

Don't need no heater for a summer hotrod

Yeah, that looks exactly like what I was referring to having been used in my car.
