Coolant reroute

Coolant reroute
I search everywhere, and its the same answers. Since I have a stock ecu(will get MS2 or Speediuno) that say delete the coolant path to intake manifold. If I recall maybe I misunderstood, but the stock ecu doesn't like that, since it relies on Air Valve for idle.
Will this work ?

when I started fiddling with my 1.6 as NA (in an NA?) I completely removed the 'thermo-valve' from the inlet manifold & deleted the coolant pipework from the thermostat housing to the thermo-valve then also the pipes to the icv & eventually the inlet manifold (by number 1 runner, blocked the steel stub)
also deleted the icv (well, plugged it so it's not operative, still connected electrically to save on throwing 'fault-codes')
this was done as part of a simplification pre-turbo but I've changed direction & am now playing with ITB's
first start (from cold) needed slight throttle untill it had warmed slightly then a stable idle, main benefits were less pipework & less possible leaks :-)
