Re: coolant overflow
The only debris in it would have come out of the cooling system.
I bought one of those under 20 buck stainless ones off Ebay for my 48. I may mount it in front of the core support out of sight though.
I'd say you are on the right track. one tube that just goes a little ways into the bottom of the tank to hook the hose to the radiator overflow on and a long tube that goes up close to the top of the tank as the vent tube. You might want to do something to steady the vent tube so it doesn't want to wiggle around.
