Coolant hose circuit 318la

Since I'm not running a thermostat, do I need that little jump hose? Or will I still have circulation/hotspot issues?

I'm about to break a bolt off, so I'm not installing a thermostat.

Plastic bag/cardboard over radiator when its really cold out. If I manage to trip electric fans that's my removal sign.
