We've found that for N/A applications there shouldn't be any issue running the included hose. For those with turbo applications it is sometimes required to cut the radiator end a little differently or splice in another hose to gain clearance for the IC tubing. I'm hoping I get some time to work on a more elegant solution to this in the sometime this year.

Well, here is what it looks like installed on my NA8. Sorry for the bad pictures, good as I could get my camera into some tight spots. I was lucky in that I was also doing clutch/flywheel so I could tip my motor forward to install vs. try to shove my fat hands behind there.
I found it worked best if I threaded the hose UNDER the engine harness and behind the clutch line. I also massaged the fuel feed and return hoses to get the hose to "lay down".
Because of the oil cooler water hose outlet there, you can only get the clamp so far back.. I kept pushing thinking, why isn't this going?

One hole is for the hose nipple that connects to the heater core and the other is for use with gauges or whatever you choose to do with it. If you'd rather not use this port, just grab a 3/8" NPT plug to seal off this port.

We get a lot of email everyday, and we make our best effort to reply to all of them but that doesn't mean one gets missed once in a while. My apologies if that's the case.

Is the 30.25mm freeze plug the right size for a '99 head? Barely took any force to get it flush with the head. Couple taps with a hammer and it was "in" Felt like I could've pressed it in with my hands
Edit: never installed a freeze plug before. Is it supposed to be that easy?

I definitely would not recommend running the plug without a plate to secure it. It's very cheap insurance at that point.

Thanks for the feedback! Sometimes geometry is a funny thing and often times we run into the whole 10lbs of stuff in a 5lb bag, which is the case here. I tried to give as much clearance as I could while not making the part anymore difficult to machine and thus keeping the price at a very economical level.
For anyone doing this going forward, install as many hoses on the head as you can before putting the head/motor back in the car.
That being said, everything else is top notch! Pleasure doing business with you.

Why would it be different than stock? Same bolt thread.

We're continuing to add some new products. This one is a slight spin off an existing product, but has been requested by several customers.
Introducing the EGR Nipple Block-Off
Need an additional vacuum source, or possibly a shorter and cleaner routing to parts near the firewall like a FPR? This should help you out!
