It's probably not SIGNIFICANT, as while the heat is on, they say the fan should be on low, so not much much cooling will occur on that front.
if I had to take a guess, I'd say the water pump and thermostat being at the lowest points, they are not what's going to trap air, the heater is, so rejecting a bit of heat from the heater bypass while the throttle gets bumped a few times is probably to ensure the thermostat remains closed and maximise the flow through the heater circuit to carry out any air that might get trapped. Once air is out of the heater bypass and into the water jacket, it can freely go up into the coolant crossover and up the upper hose to the cap. |

I think the blower is set to low so any remaining gurgle can still be heard.

It will probably need a few rounds of bleeding.
Don't warm it up, do as the shop manual says and from cold, bleed it from the bleed port and add coolant as needed, run it momentarily, rev it a few times and shut her down. Let her sit a bit to any bubbles can rise to the top of the heater hose and filler neck, repeat bleeding and adding coolant. Do this until it's properly filled. And this my friends is why vacuum filling is preferred over the yellow funnel: it's a perfect fill every time even in system with the most ass backwards impossible to bleed bullshit designs. |

I use the Snap-On RADKITPLUSA on everything and it's an absolute joy. Perfect every time on every car, from a large cooling system like a powerstroke to a... large cooling system... like a 911. Shit's perfect.

Only if you want to start all over again.
No. Just keep going. Is your car perfectly level where you are working?

There is no point in adding air to it. The only way that would be worth it is if you started from scratch with a vacuum filler, as it's hard to pull a vacuum in a system that's significantly full. |

Do you mean bubbles to the reservoir hose? I would expect to see bubbles until it reaches peak temperature. That's when the existing air in the cooling system quits expanding. Unless you're running it until the fan engages, you'll see bubbles.
Then, when the engine cools, the air bubbles shrink, and coolant back-fills the system. The smaller air bubbles collect at high points, like the one at the bleeder valve. When the cooling system is working properly, there are no bubbles, and the cold fluid level does not change.
