If you're still having coolant issues, I recall my dad (ASE & GM master tech) mentioning that bypassing the heater core can sometimes cause funny coolant problems. If I recall right, it's since there's now less capacity for coolant that it causes problems. Heater hoses are easy to adapt from car-to-car, just a matter of getting it from one pipe to another usually, no fittings to mess with on these older cars.

"All I know about music is that not many people ever really hear it. [...] But the man who creates the music is hearing something else, is dealing with the roar rising from the void and imposing order on it as it hits the air. What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
