diverter tees is not a good idea. Open and in the system they are not that big a restriction to water flow, Capping them off restricts the flow quite a bit. Engineer another way or remove them!

    piping design

    The system is 1 loop forced hot water that I am changing to 3 zones. There are 5 radiators down stairs and 4 radiators up stairs plus a 3 season room. When I change the piping should I remove the diverter t's from the original loop that are no longer being used? It would save a lot of time if I could just cap them off.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You should be able to just connect the supply tee to the diverter tee parallel to the heating main wherever you disconnect a radiator. That will let the flow split as if the rad was still connected.
