Yeah, it won't be good ideal. I see you live in Redlands, CA. They will check for the CEL during the smog check. Also, your gas mileage might suffer with a CEL.
You can go to the dealer to find out how to route the coolant hoses. Have them print out the a part diagram for a manual trans, I had them to this when I was replacing all my hoses.

so i've been reading other peoples problems similar to this on other forums and something that might make sence... could this be a vacuum leak? and would'nt that cause it to idle weird causing the IACV CEL to come up?

no but when the car is cold there is no problem and when it fully gets warm this is when it happens.. then it will idle low at a stop but it will go higher then lower ranging from maybe 500 to 1300rpm. would this still be and IACV?

Like Ron said, a vacuum leak tends to make it too high all the time. Do you have a steady idle with the wire unplugged at the EACV? If the engine stalls under that condition, turn up the air screw on the throttle body until it just barely runs (400-500 rpm).
