Heater core bypass?

So I have a major coolant leak under my dash. I need to get this fixed ASAP but it’s going to take me a couple days to get a heater core.

In the past I have bypassed heater cores but I have no clue how to do it with this car. 06 base.

I couldn’t find anything on here, is there any info on how to do it? Living in San Diego I could go well into next winter before I really need my heater again.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Would think you need to remove #18 and #19 from where they connect into the fire wall/heater core in the below OEM template and couple them together.

Awesome thank you for that! That’s exactly what I was trying to find. Mine is not an s but I think I’ll be able to find the exact same thing for my car If it’s not the same.
