Broke heater core!! Need Some Info

So im working on my car as we speak and i didnt know the heater core was so sensitive! well i broke it. so i dont mind not having a heater but how do i connect the hoses?
So like in the picture could i remove #1 and connect #2 instead of #1. some what like a U? Connect the inlet heater hose coming from the block into the thermostat housing?

That’s the heater control. Replace it, its like a splicer in between two hoses. Easy fix.:werd:

thanks help out a lot!

Yeah that’s the best part you could’ve possibly broke. 10 min fix just get a new control valve.

Now if you would’ve broke either of the 2 coming out of the firewall, you’d be in for a fun night.
