This Winter's project on my '04 S55 AMG is a DIY interchiller and split cooling.
Does the intercooler circuit look correct? #110/11 would be the DIY interchiller core, and I will be removing both factory heat exchangers.
#2 would be an aftermarket storage tank.
I do know that the the factory bleed port and coolant reservoir has to be capped off and the system manually bled.

That being said generally you would want the pump pulling a suction off (and lower than) the tank, and discharging into the intercooler. You would also want the interchiller feeding cold water into the tank. I would suggest routing like this:
