I was just thinking, instead of plugging the hole for the crossover and heater pipe like i did on my crossover for the driver side. I would get some 3/16 steel plate and just make a complete blockoff with some rolled rubber fiber gasket material to make your own gasket for it. Where I plumbed in my rear heater on the rear pathfinder pipe. That spot comes already closed, I had drilled and tapped it just to add in the heater.

The front pipe is the cross over that can be deleted, the rear heads to the heater core with an additional portion that goes to the tb. I deleted my tb lines to cool the intake further. The rear pipe that connects to both heads is what effects the coolant flow from the heads. Most people never noticed much difference with the pathfinder rear pipe, at least so they say. But I dropped nearly 10 degrees after doing the pathfinder mod to the back of the block. The big reason i did the pathfinder was to clean up my cooling system deleting as many possible lines as possible. It is much easier to bleed the air out of the cooling system now.

It would be much easier to do with the mod but if you get creative using some of my ideas I am very sure it could be done. Full block off plate on the drivers side and deleting the full metal pipe going to 1 silicone hose on the pass side should make it alot easier. You will still need to cap 2 ports on the rear pipe.

Had to source an ol' pic from an old thread. There used to be several people that were always messing with their cooling system 5-8 years ago.
This should give you a little more idea of your cooling system.

Np, I am not on here as frequently since i haven't had much of a budget for my build. But I still come on researching alot for my goals. In some ways I try to pioneer my builds differently then everyone else but use proven methods in the process. There is a great amount of resource here!!

I don't think you can remove 8 pounds from a 19 pound hood and keep it functional
