Default Coolant fill?

I replaced the coolant temp sensor on my 04 SS and had what I thought was very little coolant loss. I drove the car and the temp got very hot so I added some coolant which really lowered the running temp but was wondering if you are suppose to bleed air out of line and how you do so? Thanks Rooster.

There should be a bleed screw on the thermostat housing
