I got my radiator back from the shop and they build the cross-flow tanks

Consequentially, the input and return are at the low points. 
 It seems to me that I need to worry about air accumulating in the
radiator under this configuration.  The tanks have a taper to 
them so I can't just flip them over.  I was wondering if a simple
air return line mounted in the high end of the tank might suffice?  
That, or just flip it over and taper the other end.  In a
typical installation would an air bleed line be used, which 
I assume would route back to the swirl pot?

Yes. If in doubt put in a bleed line to the highest point.
