Shouldn't really be anything special. I've done several sets of Samcos and haven't had any problem with air. You can try "burping" the upper hose by squeezing it a few times to push some air/coolant through. You can always let the car run for a bit with the radiator cap off as long as you don't let the car get super hot.

This may be a stupid question, but couldn't you just call the dealership that you work for and talk to one of your techs?

The tee your looking for is on the passenger side right near the heater hose in the back. Follow the hose from your heater core next to the battery.
