In a gas boiler older than you and I, the hot water coil seems to be leaking into and filling the steam system. Plan to bypass it. anything to watch out for?

make sure it is caps with a relief valve
not a plug or cap as the leak could corrode shut and create a closed loop with no where to expand.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
