I think my system would work very similar to yours.  It may take more than a couple of heat cycles due to no swirl pot, but when air comes out, it is trapped and only coolant can return.  I always check the fire extinguisher after an engine run and after a while??? Don’t have to add more coolant.

Where does one come across an RX-2/3 pressure bottle??  
 
Probably no more available. I would make one from an expended fire extinguesher bottle. TIG on a plain pressure cap throat. Pick one that works with a 22 pound cap. The stuff welds up real nice and can be polished.  Close to zero weight.
