Default When swapping out radiators..

..is it necessary for me to drain the coolant from the engine block, via the drainage bolt? Additionaly, how do I bleed the coolant system for air bubbles?

nope wont need to drain from the block. And to make sure to get all air bubbles out just fill it up with the car running.

when you put in the new radiator,fill up the radiator and start the car and let it idle to normal temp. then refill as it goes down and watch the airbubbles come out. then put back cap and you're good to go
