Its actually very easy now. I jack the front up. I open the bleeder screw on the heater hose. pour water in the reservoir and keep pouring water in the radiator until i see come out the bleeder hole on the hose. Once i see that, i screw it in and fill up the radiator and leave the cap off. I start the car, blast the heat and hold the rev to 2k rpm constant. Fill the radiator as it goes down. once it stops going down, I take it for a drive, its not fully bled yet but i go for a drive anyways and the remaining air clears its self out. Make sure you have plenty of water in the reservoir because as your driving, its gonna take water from it. HOWEVER when you are driving, you will see the water temps raise up but it never hits H. its 3/4 of the way up there but eventually it dropps and drops to normal temps and then you can feel the heat in your face.

It will be right next to what looks like your fuel pressure regulator in the heater hose.

You should have done like I did - splice the line and keep the stock bleader. If you still have your stock T with bleeder, just splice it back in line
