Bleeding after TB bypass

I'm about to do the TB bypass mod on my 97Z. I've seen some stuff here about bleeding the TB afterwards, or the car might idle high. How do I go about doing this exactly, do I loosen these bleeder screws? http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/bleeders.jpg

I recently did the TB bypass and did not have to bleed anything and didn't have any problems.

...not that that really answers your question--sorry.

Let the car come up to temperature, pop open those bleeders (or have them open already). You do not need to open them up massively, if you look down the hole you will see when the screw starts to leave some air escape space, I open them maybe half way or so, but its not critical.

When you have a pretty constant stream of water, you can close them off. I usually do one at a time, the thermostate should be the one you close first, the other one takes awhile longer.
