Thanks man; I would appreciate the picture if you can.
Did you have to re-bleed the system also or just re-route the hose and it's good to go.?
The amount of air introduced into the system should be insignificant and not require bleeding. (If you loose lots of fluid while doing this then you might need to bleed. ) After a few miles and a major cooldown check the fluid level in the radiator.

The Hondata gasket is blocks off the coolant flow through the #1 intake runner bung. I drilled mine out to allow flow.
In this pic you can see the small coolant hose which attaches at the same point as the upper radiator hose. I did this mod when I had my intake mani and cyl head off so it was cake. I don't know how hard it would be to switch out the stock hose for a longer one with everything still on the car
Basically the coolant from the cyl head now bypasses the throttle body and IAC.
I think it will be because you need to remove a small hose clamp. An easier way would be to just spilce in a section of hose where the stock one leaves off. I'm not 100% any of this has a measureable difference, but I like to tinker
