Default coolant overflow bottle question

I bought my car with no fan shroud and no coolant overflow bottle.
Just got the parts but I need to know if anyone can tell me what lines go where to hook up the coolant overflow bottle.
My GT currently has a aluminum radiator unsure of the brand but it doesnt look like there is a way to mount the fan shroud securely and the bottle but im gonna give it a good try!

Does it have e-fans or stock fan? you don't need fan shroud with e-fans. you can use some zip ties thru the radiator or buy an efan install kit from auto store. the over flow bottle hose hooks up to a nipple that is next to the radiator cap.

It has stock fan and fan clutch.

ok but there are 2 nipples on the bottle one on the bottom and one at the top near the neck. does it mount on the drivers side of the engine bay or the pass?

the bottom hose hooks up to the nipple on radiator cap. mine is an after market aluminimum overflow bottle with only the bottom hose.
