My heater core sprung a leak. I am trying to take the cheap way out on my beater and was wondering if I just remove the heater core and run a hose from the block straight to the water pump, will I cause my any problems or damage the engine or rest of the cooling system?

I know I have seen this done on some other trucks, but I don't know enough about it to know about potential troubles it might cause.
