Default D16Z6 EK coupe need a coolant bleed?

hey guys, so i am just finishing up a d16z6 swap in my ek ( y8 blew up ). it starts and runs, idles good. But before i take it for the first drive i want to make sure that the cooling system in all good. The whole coolant system was 100% dry before i filled up the rad with 50/50, do i need to bleed the coolant system somehow or will it do that on its own? any input would be great!

thanks - Jacob

I would. Slide your heater control all the way to heat when you bleed the system. I'm a fan of the Lisle funnel on the radiator for bleeding.
