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.

I used this, got a nipple and 3/8 thread nipple with a 1/4 tip and ran the lie to it in middle of the upper radiator hose
