How do you get the air out

If you install a tee-connector (for flushing your heater core, e.g., Prestone kits have them) on your heater hose from the bell-housing-thermostat, you could easily bleed the air out that way. Did that on my '81 CJ-7 many many winters ago... unscrewed the cap just enough to have it loose but not falling off (I believe I used electrical tape around the cap-hose to keep it in place), ran the engine until the thermostat opened and it didn't take long for the air to bleed out. You may want to put a rag over the tee to keep the hot coolant from spraying all over the engine compartment. Heck, you could use the tee later to flush your heater core...
