I didn't see where the expansion tank was mounted in the donor car, so can anyone tell me if there is an elevation/engine relationship requirement?

On the ALH cars I believe the coolant level in the reservoir is even or slightly above the small coolant nipple on the head.

Just low enough to clear the hood next to the firewall is what it appears to be the norm.
It should be the highest point in the cooling system so that any air gets trapped there.
