the little hose is just to bleed air to the top of the radiator.

That's all it does, but again, it doesn't really do anything that the tube and radiator hose don't already do.

Leaning on other's experiences here.
A) Should I crimp the tube on the pipe, put on a fresh piece of hose and clamp on a plug, or weld up the end of the little tube?
B) Guess I will be discussing the bleeder valve. . There ARE two threaded opening on the right side. The one in the lower right would ne for the drain, so may the intent of the other is to have the customer fit one.
