...oh I am using a ViaAqua 1300 (395GPM), DD Maze3, DD Radeon 9700Pro. In the future, I would like to add a chipset block.
Also, I have 2 ViaAqua 1300. Could I use one to push towards the blocks from the res and one to pull from the blocks into the res?

No problem. Plastic tubing doesn't exert much friction at all, so unless you're running tubing from one end of your house to another I wouldn't worry.
If you arrange your tubing correctly so that siphonic action is maintained, it doesn't matter at all whether the tubing is on the same level or going straight up and down.
Chipset blocks seem like a no-no from what others have said. Half the time the water you're trying to cool it with will actually be hotter than the north bridge itself, so you'll just make things worse. Well, unless you're OCing the FSB.
