Air? I don't know...
I never replaced the water pump, and I have no idea whether it was done in the past.
When it cools down around here, I'll open the front engine compartment and see what condition it's in.

I assume with no coolant carried by the pump the car would heat up in minutes.
[See below]

Here's what I did this morning.

I opened the trunk, took off the bleeder cover, added some more coolant to top it to proper measure, and turned on the car.

Ran it, checked the temperature, coolant level, bleeder valve, cap.

After 15 minutes everything OK, checked around and under car for leakage, especially around the overflow tube.

Nothing.
After 30 minutes, I saw the needle just go over 180, at that point turned off the car.
No leakage, boil-over, etc.

HOWEVER

The fans never went on.

Soooo???
