Small 90 degree hose from the top of the water pump to the intake manifold.

It's a big block thing. small blocks have a third hole on the drivers side of the waterpump hole.
And YES the Bypass hose is needed unless you drill your thermostat. See without a bypass when the thermostat is closed there is no water flow through the engine. This means the engine must heat the thermostat by convection untill it opens and water starts to flow....
