Ummm...I could be mistaken, but I think the petcock on the bottom of the radiator is to drain the coolant...not air from the system.

I looked at a diagram of the cooling system for an '07 Monte w/3.5L and didn't see an air bleed either. I would think that the location of the surge tank hose would allow for air to escape from the system through it.

You don't have one. It's a new kind of cooling system that is supposed to burp itself of air as you drive it.

Fill it up, drive it a little, fill it up, etc. etc. until you are full.

Default bleeder valve location for cooling system

Where would be the exact location of the bleeder valve on a
2001 Monte Carlo LS 3.4L Cooling System, in order to drain any existing air?
