    My mistake, for some reason I thought you were talking about the coolant hoses not the heater hoses. On the passenger side of the water pump, connect your heater hoses to your heater core, small one is pressure, large one is return. The third one on the drivers side could be for the optional oil cooler, you can block that one off. It's been quite a while since I did my Camaro swap and can't remember if I had that one., I'll look at it when I get home tonight. One other thing that I did not mention is that you will also have to re-route the steam line (goes through the throttle body, but most people bypass that for performance). Your radiator most likely does not have a fitting for this. A couple of ways you can do this are; putting a t-fitting in your radiator or heater hose, or drill and tap a fitting into your water pump. But whatever you, do not just plug this line or you will have overheating issues. I did the drill and tap deal, you can just see the brass fitting in the pic I posted above.....

    As for the oil cooler outlet/inlet. Where is the other one? Obviously there needs to be two.... I have an adapter plate for oil cooler lines on my old motor, ill probably use that, since it will fit my rad etc.

    I really dont think the outlet/inlet on the water pump on the drivers side is for oil. Anyone know what its for?

    It is not for "oil", or the heater core. . It is for the (optional) oil cooler. Engine coolant is routed to the oil cooler and then back to the radiator. On Camaros that do not have the oil cooler option the line is connected directly to the radiator.

    To recap, the two lines on the passenger side are for your heater core, the single line on the drivers side is for the oil cooler option. Here&#39;s a pic of a Camaro water pump for reference. ( this pump has been modified with a CSI electric motor, but the housing remains the same.)



    On my Camaro LT1 swap, I just plugged that hose since I am running neither a oil cooler nor do I have a return fitting in my radiator.......
