Wouldn't it be the same as refilling and bleeding with an existing radiator? Just use the bleed screw on top of the thermostat housing.

Mine was awful to bleed after a coolant change, as above use the bleed screw on the thermostat housing be careful with it though as it's probably shagged! !!!
Top up with coolant then run the car with the heater on full heat at speed 4 ,obviously just watch the temp gauge and bleed out of the screw topping up with coolant as required, in the end I had to put the car on a steep hill nose up and rev the shit out of it to get the coolant to circulate. ...
Then take it for a drive and probably repeat a couple of times for good measure. ...also make sure fan clutch/fan shroud and thermostat are good or you're wasting your time.
