It'll purge itself 9 times out of 10. Just make sure your reservoir is full and check your radiator in a week or so.

If you're running Dex, yes, it can cause problems. Air destroys the anti-corrosion barrier the coolant builds up, leading to rust.

It can over heat. If it has not, or you are not running hot, then you should be fine.
Doesn't the T-stat elbow have a bleeder screw like my GT?

I haven't seen these cars to work on yet, but you should be able to bleed air out of the system. if the radiator has a cap, take it off while cold, start the car, turn heat on, let air run out of the system, fill radiator as necessary, close the radiator cap. Basically you want water to overflow from the radiator. But maybe these cars only have a radiator cap on the reservoir...
Air in the system causes overheating problems.

Yup, I just did mine a couple weeks ago. When bleeding you just need loosen the inner screw, takes 6mm wrench.Originally Posted by toolguy

yes.....it has a bleeder on the waterneck. Also, leave the cap off of the radiator while getting it up to temp. Then top it off and put the cap back on. You should be fine.
