Cooling system and heater questions

I put a mini heater from summit up under the dash in my 48 chevy and had a couple questions about coolant flow to the unit. I do not have ac so I want to put an inline shut off valve under the dash to keep the hot water from circulating through the heater core when I do not need it. Should I put the shut off valve in the line coming from the water pump? Will this disrupt flow for the rest of the engines cooling system if it has a dead spot under the dash? I thought it would all be good but just wanted to make sure before I go ahead, thanks!

Ok thanks and while I am here, does anybody know what type of fittings or hoses I can use to connect the threaded end of the bulkhead to the water pump and intake manifold inlets and outlets? The other side is easy with 5/8" heater hose under the dash. Thanks
