There are several options I can think of for adapting the factory upper hose to AN lines.
The easiest with this kit... Leave the lower hose and factory thermostat housing as is. Run the new upper thermostat housing empty.
does cobra engineering make anything for you?
that bypass line can be a huge pain in the ass. If you wanna keep the factory housing and Reisch thermostat youd just need to find a way to cap off the bypass line connection - BUT - if you dont have the bypass will that thermostat still function correctly?
i run a 180 stat in my on3 delete kit (cobra engineering wasnt out yet) with a GT lower hose trimmed to fit.

Do you have any pictures of your set up also are you running the stock overflow expansion tank with it? I’d love to see how you have your lower hose set up and upper so I have a reference I’ll be doing this over the late fall/winter

i'll see if I can find em on my phone later.
Im running a moroso tank now just for looks, had a stock tank for a while. The lower hose is literally a 99GT lower hose, where it connectors by the oil filter gets trimmed a little to correct the length/angle and thats all it took (I dunno what your oil filter/coolant adapter looks like in comparison)

That’s all I would need? Removes all the lower thermostat housing and bypass of the 4v cobra stuff correct then just get the on3 upper thermostat housing and the dual port kit

With this crossover delete do you notice and difference in temps? Without the bypass since it doesn’t allow head flow until the thermostat opens
