Default head coolant hose, where do I hook this thing?

Guys, I am killing you with this question, the outlet for the head vents just below the throttle body, where do I hook this thing up too ? This is my situation, I have the upper and lower hoses in, the heater hoses in, and I have no idea where to put this small line. If I put it in one of the rad hoses, is there an adapter, that I can "T" off of? Also, I went from auto to manual, what do I do with the tranny cooler inlet/outlet? Do I plug them, and if I do with that? any help would be great..

Sounds like you have a v6 radiator. The ls1 radiator has and inlet and outlet like v6(large holes) of course but also has a small inlet about an inch below the overflow outlet. So you should have to small holes and two large holes in the ls1 radiator. Let me find some pics to show the difference, i dont know how good i described that.

This is the v6 radiator. Notice only the one small outlet for the overflow tank.


This is the ls1 radiator. Notice the small inlet right below the overflow outlet. Hope this solves the problem.

Napa sells a composite t adapter that fits the heater outlet hose and the tee side is 3/8. Worked great for me.
