stock configuration is four corners go to the return on the Radiator
I made my own to go with my setup and all of my nitrous plumbing that goes under the intake

Yes that will work fine. You have a lt1 radiator and that extra port just gets plugged.

Soundengineering, what did you do to connect to the F-body radiator steam port ?...

If you have a late 4th Gen Radiator.. then I would just hook it up to the stock location on the Radiator.. you might need to adapte the different size port/hoses as they are different size on the radiator and crossover tube.

As other stated, either way will work (radiator or WP).
