After starting my chevelle, I noticed 2 water lines that run from the water pump to the back towards the dash board passenger side, were very hot to the touch. Where do those two lines go and why were they so hot. I had engine on for about 20 to 25 minutes, I also noticed the water hose that goes from the water pump to the radiator was not very hot. Help!

Those are the heater core hoses, they are what provide heat to your car, they are supposed to be hot.
