Before I do, If I seal the case except for the rad entrance. Then use 3 80mms + 1 or 2 120mms all for exaust will air just have to go passively through the rad? Or should I really place a fan directly onto the radiator?

I'll take it off your hands: maybe I can refurb it, and PIF (pass it forward) it to someone else. (I can paypal you the shipping).
Overall, you ought to opt for a positive air pressure in the case, unless you enjoy getting dust bunnies out of your case on a regular basis. You'd have to gauge the fans carefully here: the 3 * 80mm should out-power the 2 * 120, so use the 80's to force air in, and the 120's to let air out (or whatever combination you see fit).
edit: you might look into mounting that pump "heads down", aka motor up, if you can manage it. It might make some things simpler. In fact, if you could do that, you could manage to add a 3/4 tee at the pump inlet, so that you can have a drain plug at the bottom of your case (drill a hole). All you need is a threaded 3/4" tee (the grey schedule 80 stuff at Lowe's or Home Depot), two 3/4" barbs (the grey polypropylene stuff from Home Depot), and a white (schedule 40) or grey (schedule 80) 3/4" drain plug.
