Will the engine get coolant throughout the block with that piping rem

Question, semi related to cooling.

I have a built fuel injected 84 22RE in a 48 willys. I recently removed and the wrap around coolant line that feed the heater core and capped off both sides, no heat in the Jeep. It has a new custom oversized aluminum radiator.

Temp gauge isn’t showing any over heating issues but it smells hot, if that makes any sense.

Will the engine get coolant throughout the block with that piping removed?
