Man, your car's been hacked up. Here is a pic of my old 91. You can see the two heater hoses running along the valve cover, connecting to the heater core at the firewall. The third fatter hose that's connected to the valve and leading towards the inner fender runs up to the front and connects to the radiator.

Chances are good that the valve still works. But the heater core might be a bad leaker, which is one reason why someone would bypass it.

You might want to hook up the in and out hoses to the heater core, and run water from a garden hose through it. Then if it does turn out to be a leaker, you can still drive the car.
