   Not sure if i get what you mean but i'm assuming that the water pipe goes right through the rad? :/..If so can you not drain the water, and disconnect the pipe further alone the system and thread it through..

   You want to get rid of the pipes yes ? As they aren't needed cause your not using the heater ? I think you could join them together as they come out of the engine block, so if the heater isn't in use you could join them together to keep the cooling the same through out the engine.
