Did TB bypass- need to "burp" my cooling system???

Did the TB bypass this weekend. When I pulled the hoses off and before I reconnected them, I could here my radiator and ?radiator cap? gurgling. Does this mean I must now bleed the cooling system? Or will it work it's way out. If I need to, where's the bleeding valve? I had good clothes on after and didn't want to lay on the ground, I thought maybe the valve is on the bottom of the radiator. Exactly where?
Thanks alot.

Do a search. Im sure it'll come up if your unsure about something.

there are 2 bleeder valves... they are on the hoses clearly visible and on top of the engine.... having done a tb bypass you couldnt have gotten that much air in there. Just find one of the valves have your car running, and loosen it with a flat head screw driver alittle bit until something comes out. Either air or coolant will come out. if its coolant than shut it again.
