I am new to LS engines so I am still learning some of the smaller things like that about them.

Nice! How much was it and what is the part #? I believe you can't tie the steam port into the overflow because that would be on the wrong side of the seal on the radiator cap (and therefore wouldn't return coolant until there was negative pressure). Should be able to find someone who can TIG a fitting in one of the tanks for you though. Looks like the lower neck is angled, can you share how much it is angled?

What is the fitting toward the bottom? I only see one so I assume it's a drain, but it's quite a ways up on the tank.
