Not sure if the air/steam would push through into the system or get stuck at the top of the pipe.
That'll probably work fine. All you really need that steam tube to do is burp the air out of the motor when you fill the system, Most motors never had them and you had to mess around filling and topping up the system to be sure you got all the air out.
