Mike, I've gotten a lot of joy out of using a 1/2" 90-degree copper elbow from the plumbing store on the lower heater core connection, pointing straight up. Makes it easy to loop a hose over to the wrong-way pipe on the head. A rubber-coated Adele clamp on one of the blower motor screws keeps the hose tidy. This has worked fine on several B18-B20 swaps and hasn't shown any corrosion over the years.

As for transplanting yourself, are you moving to a whole different part of the state? There are conveniences we miss, but on the whole we're really happy to have moved out to the sticks.
