Default Steam vent questions.

Ok just tying up all the loose ends on the V8 swap on my truck and this is one of my last little hangs up. The front steam vent, after it circulates through the TB and goes to the rad, well the V6 rad doesn't have a place for that hose. So where can I vent it to? Or does it even need to be vented (solder up the tube that goes to the TB)?

I would definately vent it, how much trouble would it be for you to swap to a v8 radiator?

I should've researched more before I posted. I fail. I'm just gonna drill and tap the thermostat housing. Problem solved, it's how a lot of swaps/hybrids are done.
