No you need to run it back into the Rad. Or into the top Rad hose. It is a bad Idea not to return it to a flow source. It will cause steam pockets in your cylinder leading to detenation issues.

check out kurt urban performance he makes some adadpter blocks to where you can set up your own lines, the blocks are tapped for 1/8ntp. ill get some picts up of mine, it turned out real sweet. a little costly but looks are worth it!
you do NEED to atleast run a line off both sides, you can block off both sides of the back just run the fronts to either an overflow or back to the top of radiator as stated above.
