Yes, that's the one.  The choice of use what's there or drill & tap is a builder choice thing.  I used it as-is on the Renesis but Bruce had already drilled & tapped it on my 20B.

Useful Factoid:  The pressure at this point is higher than anywhere else in the external plumbing of the cooling system.

I'd say you want a -4 line from the front (rear in car) sidehousing (Mazda knew what was right so use the port that is already there) to the higher port (not the overflow) on the filler/expansion tank.  Us a -6 or so line from bottom port on exp. tank to the pump outlet or highest point in cooling system.  If the tank is the only filler point it is kind of a pain to fill the system but after that it's no problem.  Keep tank 1/2 full when cold.
 
I assume Tracy, you refer to this port.  this fitting is the same type as the heater port on the other side.  should I remove it [and if so, how? are they pressed in or threaded?] and install an AN type fitting, or simply run a -4 rubber line with a hose clamp?   kevin
