Default Those LS-Mustang guys running F-body Radiators, PLLEEEAAASSEE HELP!

So I am getting to the final steps and have a couple of questions. Obviously upper radiator hose goes to upper port on radiator, lower to lower.

1- There is an additional output on the driver side of the radiator, where does this go?

2- The steam coolant pipe, where does this connect into?

3- he two ports on the bottom of the throttle body, are these vacuum or are these supposed to be for coolant?

4- For an overflow do I just route the very top outlet (closest to the radiator cap) into an overflow tank?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have a LT1 Radiator..cap it.

2- The steam coolant pipe, where does this connect into?
Barb below the Over Flow Barb, under the Radiator Cap.

3- The two ports on the bottom of the throttle body, are these vacuum or are these supposed to be for coolant?
Dont worry about them.

4- For an overflow do I just route the very top outlet (closest to the radiator cap) into an overflow tank?
Yes.

Thanks!
