Water thru my intake

[Amc1320]

Is it nessicary to rout the water thru the intake or is that just to help warm it up?

I live in Tennessee so its not like it gets very cold here,

As I put my Eagle back toghether I am really trying to elimate as many hoses and wires as possible

My Dad and I ware working on his 74 Gremlin with a 232, now there is a simple engine bay!! I am going for that look if possible!!

I assume if I dont use them I can just cap them off? Wondering what others hav done, or reccomend

THanks in advance

If you're in a warmer climate you don't need to run water through your intake.  As you suggested that is done to help the car run better in cold conditions as it warms up.
