You can tie it into the upper radiator hose. I opted to drill and thread the top of the water pump and used a barb fitting to tie it in on my swap.

Sure you can tap the water pump. I don't like doing that, because if the pump went bad on a road trip, it would be a hassle. The factory Trailblazer SS had the steam vent piped into the return heater hose, so that is viable. There are several ways, I put mine to a surge tank plumbed in the return heater hose.

Check out Jags that Run (JTR). They have a fitting specifically for the steam vent hose that you connect to the upper radiator hose. You can see the fitting in upper radiator hose in the attached picture.

Lots of guys plumb those into the heater hose and run with zero problems. Other guys block them off altogether and run with zero problems. They aren't really needed as long as you get all the air out of the top of the block during the initial fill.

Do whichever way is easier to do

I used one like this also. Worked fine.

I used pipe fittings in the heater return line (since been cleaned up to look better than this):
