The best way I've read and done is to "burp" the system. Jack the front of the car up as high as you can, remove the cap, and turn the car on. You'll see air bubbles slowly escaping, and you'll need to keep adding coolant as necessary. This process is long (many hours usually), but necessary. You have to do it this way because the Heater Core is located in a spot that makes it higher than the top of the radiator when the vehilce is level, and air gets trapped in it because of this.
