Wagmore

Thought this would be a simple one, but after calling Wagner (Jastram), one of their distributors (Hamilton Marine) and an unknown tech they referred me to, nobody is providing the answer.
I've a Wagner 700 series helm pump - pictured here. Simple setup, two lines to the Wagner actuator.
I'm plumbing in a Simrad RPU80 autopilot pump, and installing the two necessary tees into the existing lines is straightforward. However, I need to know where to send the return line. I assumed I'd simply replace one of the brass plugs shown above with an elbow, and plumb it in - but can't get a definitive answer from the sources above.
If so - does it matter whether I use the upper or lower plug? One of the contacts "guessed" I might use the lower, but then would need to vent the upper plug somehow. Another person said I might need to use an overflow tank.
Can anyone provide a known, working example of how I should plumb this?
