In my first water cooled case, I had a Chevette core mounted horizontally at the top of an old, narrow, cramped full tower. The inlet/outlet were pointing down, and the inlet/outlet tanks were slightly higher than the other end of the core. I cut a 1/8" NPT brass pipe coupling in half, drilled holes opposite the inlet/outlet and soldered the bungs to the tank. I would remove both pipe plugs for the initial fill with the pump off, and just the suction side plug with the pump running to top it off. Only drawback was no coolant reserve, but your idea solves that.
