I don't have a heater or the webers (injection instead). I do have an additional expansion bottle with the micra rad Rescued attachment Plumbing3.jpg

id'e miss out the inlet manifold connection, cooler the charge the better.

a short summary (agrees with all the above too, BTW) is:

bottom of rad to bottom of engine

top to top.

expansion bottom into bottom hose via tee

expansion top from top hose.

heater matrix just looped back on itself.

There are several variations in donor sierras on how the same setup was actually connected - mine had a few bits plugged when i dismantled it. So i left it all as it came
