Waterpump and coolant Flow?

Guys I am trying to get everything figured in for the motor buildup going in at the beggining of the year and I have a few simple questions.

I am running 1/2 90 degree fittings in the back of the heads for the steam line into a T coming up toward the front of the motor, I am planning on buying this Radiator (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...oview=skusince I am cutting the front support to add Room, I need a smaller rad than stock)
The rad I have seen used on build ups before and it does not come with a provision for a coolant sensor (no big deal), Provision for the Oil cooler connection back to Radiator (no big deal either, will block off at pump), Or a spot where the Steam line Vents to after the TB bypass or like the 93-94 LT1 F-body's.

I am wanting to know if I could run the steam line to a hose in the rad with a connection like a "T" Fitting.

Here is the stock configuration

Here is my Edited version

I will delete the Green, blue, and the black hoses, since the provisions are not there on the rad and vent the Steam line hose (RED) into the driverside hose.

I thought there could be a problem introducing the steam line into the driverside hose but it still goes into the RADIATOR first, then out the radiator into the Thermostat into the motor back out the heads. Thats the system in a whole.
