Cooling system question

I found pics of where the overflow tank is supposed to be and it's not there. I'm getting a parts car this week too so I should be able to pull it off there if that one has it.

I'm learning about this car real quick....doing a head gasket swap....not fun....

I was getting exhaust gases coming out the radiator, which is why it was building pressure so quickly and venting...and emptying out the radiator...

Also, the exhaust smelled like burning coolant and burning oil.

I drained the oil and didn't see any nasty sluge that would indicate coolant in the oil, so I guess that's a good thing, and I didn't see and oil in the coolant, but the thing emptied itself out anyway so I'm not real surprised.
