Default idea for alternative for throttle body bypass

so i know people normally do the throttle body bypass by just connecting the two hoses going to the throttle body, but that doesnt really get rid of the clutter which would be my main goal. i have a 94 so the driver side comes out of a t on the upper radiator hose, and the passenger comes from a hose on that side. so what i was thinking is replace the upper radiator hose from a 95-96 (they had a one piece upper hose instead of the two piece with the T like my 94). then just connect the hose on the passenger side and delete the T, or replace the whole hose with one solid piece. this would work correct? let me know if im missing something. the 95-96 upper radiator hose should fit on right?

what about the passenger side? what does the throttle body coolant hose on passenger side connect to? on the 94 its goes to a T that runs to surge tank and waterpump but looking at hoses for the 95 that looks like its all one piece without the T. so could i use that hose and remove the throttle body coolant hoses all together and have a clean look?
