I've taken out the heater matrix and fan assembly on my m30'd e30 and replaced with an electric demister, just wanted to check how to route the coolant pipes. Both the pipes circled in red went to the matrix, and was planning on tee-ing the pipe circled in green to where the joiner is above it in the picture. Would anyone be able to confirm that's the right way to do it please? Thanks, Jer

Forgot to add: Turn the existing tee into a 90 degree bend to do away with the other hose

You can join the heater hoses together or block them off. Doesn't matter which as far as running is concerned, but bleeding might be easier with the pipes joined.

Thank you Brian, I had considered just blocking them off but good to know either way
