Looks correct. It may not be routed right; might need to be under the front frame so it doesn't get pinched?
Just make sure that the red line attaches to the right inlet on the overflow bottle. One nipple has a hose attached to it inside the bottle. That is the one the red line should be attached to.

dunno.. mine is not like that. my 87 tii dosent have a filler cap on the rad.. or a vent hose line.
the only one mine has is the one shown on your upper RAD hose by the thermostat.
the line from my filler is black like yours and goes from the filler on the thermostat housing to the over flow tank where the black on is on yours.
then from the other side of the over flow tank where you have a red hose i have a small black hose that dumps to the ground. its like 3 inches long and curved to point at the ground.
looks to me like you have the upper part hooked up right... but then the part thats supposed to allow for over flow routed back to the RAD using that red hose.
how does it "over flow" without out a place to release?
here is a pic of mine.
is that the right RAD for that car?

the line from the upper filler neck should connect to the overflow res. the line coming off the radiator should really be removed by simply slipping oin a piece of hose, folding it over and use a hose clamp to clamp it tightly down, that's what my racing buddies and I do.
