Default expansion tank

OK fellas I need some advice. I recently installed an expansion tank on my ride. (It looks like the attached picture.) The expansion tank I installed has two small ports, one (port "A") is above the seal of the radiator cap to go to a catch can, the other (port "B") is below the radiator cap and would go to another expansion tank.

Question number one. Does a catch can have to be able to take pressure? My catch can has an non threaded 1" hole which I can place the hose "A" in, but the only way to make this can handle pressure is to weld a bung on it.

Question number two. What should I do with port B
(mulitple choice, 20 points for a correct answer)

a)- cap port "b"

b)- weld a second bung to my existing aluminum catch can and run ports A & B to it.

c)- leave my existing can as-is for A, and ADD a second expansion tank for B.

d)- run a 6AN line from the top of my water neck to port B

e) none of the above

I was going to pick "d" as I thought it would be easier to run a line instead of capping port "b". I didn't think another expansion tank was worth the $$$.

Thanks,
