Good time to get rid of those 25 year old tees . I bought some new joiners off of the "Help" rack made by Dorman . One of the old one crumbled in my hand when changing it .
        I just bought 2 pairs of KD line pliers and they kept the Antifreeze mess to a minimum .

I would have thought that it would be better if the two rear heater hoses were plugged off rather than connected as the free flowing by-pass could short change hot coolant going to the front heater.
