When I did my water pump, I asked the independent P-car shop about the refill process and getting the air bubbles out. They said to make sure the back of the car is higher than the front and I would not have any problems. Lucky for me, my driveway is sloping downhill, so I had no trouble with the refill process. Drove it for a day with the bleeder valve open and only had to put in about a quart of coolant in to bring it up to the correct level.
Started with 2 gallons of Porsche antifreeze, but had to buy another gallon to make enough 50/50 mix to fill it. Still have about a ½ gallon of full strength antifreeze left over. The stuff I got is pink colored.
