Default 1uz expansion tank

I have a sc400 and I need to make room in the engine bay, and I was planning to move the coolant expansion tank somewhere else and/or just replace it with a overflow tank.

I was wondering what I would do with the small tube that comes out of the thermostat housing (The coolant inlet).

I looked around and the only answers i see are plug up the small hose or alloy weld the hole. Im just unsure of which one would be a better option without having the car over heat.

If anyone can answer this, I would appreciate it!!

Happy New Years!!
