Default Remote water pump routing?

I cant seem to find a definitive routing for remote water pump hose routing. I have 4 ports coming out of my engine, I need to know what ports go where. I have added a photo below of my mock up engine.

Thank you all in advance!

Look at a stock water pump to see which are pressure and return.

I don't see a photo attached to this thread.

I did a quick google search and found this link:

Scroll about a a third of the way down and you will find several pictures and diagrams on the water pump routing. Hope that helps.

If anyone can correct me if im wrong, What I believe from what ive read is the coolant will enter my two bottom ports and exit the motor from the two top ports.

if anyone with a remote water pump could chime in it would be greatly appreciated.

I found a video on you tube. The two top ports are out to radiator and the two bottom ports are in from the pump.
