Default vst to cool fuel conversion ? 454 mpi to mag

I blew my gen VI serpentine belt mpi and then bought older 454 MAG with V-BELT out of cat, but it`s missing power steering. After reading horror stories about VST i decided to convert all the accessories from my old mpi to mag, because power steering. My question is after I remove vst where do i route return line from fuel rail. My Mpi had no return line from fuel rail. The cool fuel pump is the same plug as VST pump. Can I just plug it there?

return to fuel tank seems to help with vaporlock. stock system(s) recycle pressurized heated fuel back to fuelrails.
