Kinda, there's a 3/8" rubber hose near the radiator cap that takes excess pressure and liquid to dump into your would be reservoir. You may not have one if your reservoir is gone, but there should be a small overflow hose somewhere. You need to replace that reservoir if you don't have one.
Don't worry about hitting 260 that one time. I changed the water pump and radiator on my L99 last week and fluid heated up to 250 while I was burping the radiator.
