Venting a Cast Iron Baseboard on a 1-pipe STEAM System

Hi everyone,
I have always found this forum so helpful, but I have never posted a question before.
I'm renovating a bedroom, in which there was an 8 feet long cast iron baseboard. The baseboard was installed as a single/one-pipe radiator with almost no pitch; the system banged like crazy.
I'm trying to reuse this baseboard, but I'm going to install it as a 2-pipe radiator with some pitch so that the condensate exits away from stem inlet . I have beautiful sketch attached, and my question is the following:
Does it matter if I place a vent at the end of the radiator (labeled A on the sketch) vs placing it at the dry return (labeled B on the sketch)?
Thank you for all your help.

Jamie,
That's what I thought.
The only reason why I would put it on point B is because my wife didn't like the 'click' the vent does once it closes... Don't ask me why 😂😂😂0 -
