the small pipe coming out of the water pump usually is used to supply the heater matrix but if your not using that then it should be connected to the
water inlet on the inlet manifold instead to keep that warm. The large pipe coming of the thermostat housing is the hot side and goes to the top of
the rad. The cold bottom rad connection goes back to the water pump.

Not entirely necessary though. I had a mini that had this arrangement, and i never connected it. It worked fine.
