That may be the problem.
I haven't used the airlift yet, so the system is still empty. I actually just kind of ran out of time this weekend so I thought I would stop here and get back to filling the system after some more checking with the experts.

Refilling the car with distilled water, then running it for a bit before draining will help get rid of any remaining old coolant.
Thanks JFP. I'll do that and cross my fingers that I haven't screwed anything up with all the work I have done recently!
