My II is a fair weather car only so is there a downside to bypassing the heater core other than the obvious? The reason is I think my core has a leak and since it's an AC car it's just way too much work to replace it for now.

You just reminded me of a time about 15 years ago when my old Cobra's core started leaking, so I just looped the two long hoses together temporarily until I got another heater core.
Later, I had a buddy in the car and floored it until I had to slow down for a stop sign. Only the car didn't slow down! The darn hoses had gotten hung up in the throttle linkage somehow, and while I'm giving it all I have on the brake pedal, my friend is trying to put the car in neutral to no avail. We're already past the stop sign, and the car is revvinng at about 6 grand by the time he get's the tranny out of drive and I get the bright idea to turn the key off. Funny stuff!
I know this isn't the response you wanted, but when I remembered it, it just made me laugh!
