Keith, I have clear in-line fuel filters on my Ambo,
below the cross-over. (No need to remove the
crossover, btw.) I do not have clear fule line, so I
can't see what is going on further up hill, but when I
open my petcock the filters fill up most of the way,
but not completely. I think the air bubble in the fuel
lines cannot pass through the screens in the petcocks.
It hasn't caused any problems for me - the fuel flows
around the air just fine.
In regards to the two questions that you posed
(below), I would guess that the answer to both is yes.

the carbs? Does it let air escape through the carb
vent holes when the
carbs need fuel, thus letting fuel flow out of the
petcocks?"
