No street use ever intended.

NO NO NO
Don't plug the cooler lines, because lube circuits and converter charge run off of the cooler circuit......
What I do on rebuilds I just connect the cooler in & out passages inside the front pump and put plugs in the case.....
I also would recommend NOT using a hose looped between the inlet and outlet fittings....
Too much heat and pressure will cause the line to push off and that's not good....
Just bend up a short piece of steel line for the loop.....
