The LS thermostat is part of the water pump housing. The cooling setup is simpler than the old engine. Main hoses go to the radiator and back.
Something like this:
top engine outlet -> bleeder -> top radiator inlet ( cut and reused hoses here, bleeder from inline mod)
bottom radiator outlet -> water pump bottom inlet (reused hose here from inline thermostat mod, for some BMW)
For heater hoses I just got a couple feet from Autozone. Went from the firewall attachments to the LS water pump heater inlet / outlet. The 3-way adapter is in one of these hoses so it hooks back up to the expansion tank.

Looks like you bypassed the coolant passage in the throttle body?
Would you use another T fitting to connect the steam port to the driver's side coolant line on the TB?
Or would you use use the radiator overflow line instead?
