Remove the seat strap (bolts are underneath).
Lift rear of seat and pull backwards.

Your Honda VT500 is a V4 design bike, just like my 500 Interceptor. Follow the upper radiator hose back to between the cylinders and there you will find the housing. No you can not bypass the cooling system. The rear 2 cylinders really need that cooling and since the system was designed to run with coolant the fins are not cut deep enough on any of the engine to allow adequate cooling without the radiator.
