If you use the extra cooling tank with the 1/4" line going from the top of the heat exchanger to the coolant bottle it bleeds the air out on its own. The air will come right out.

That's part of the reason I recommend adding the tank while you are at it. Plus it prevents you from making a mess multiple times.

The bleeder goes on the top passenger side of the heat exchanger. If you look in through the spot where the hood latch is and towards the passenger side you will see a pipe plug screwed in there. Take that out and put a fitting in that has a 1/4" nipple on it. Can't remember the thread now, it was either 1/8"NPT or 1/4"NPT, thinking it was 1/8"NPT but don't quote me on it. You don't need to do anything to do with drilling the intake manifold. Once you got the fitting in you shove the .040" orfice into the 1/4" rubber hose and put that on the 1/4" nipple you just screwed in. The other end goes on the 1/4" nipple on the new coolant tank. I had no problem with air whatsoever, just filled it up. Drove a bit and stopped, topped it up. The air will come out easy on it's own with GM's option B.
Hope I could help. The instructions aren't very clear on this.

Yeah I found the spot to screw in the bleed screw. I didn't do the GM option 2 because I have all my nitrous gear in that spot.
I used the hose however and just had to drain into the stock filler neck for like 20 minutes.

The GM reservoir will add very little extra heat capacity. There is very little flow going through it because of the .040" orfice in line is the only circulation it sees. It's main purpose is to provide extra room for the coolant to expand due to higher temperatures and the extra volume that additional heat exchangers add to the system. It will also bleed air out of the system and keep it out of the system much more efficiantly than the stock fill tube.

It's just that little piece of plastic you put in the 1/4" rubber line before you put it on the top of the heat exchanger. I wrote a how-to on it that I sent you but it didn't get posted for some reason.

Yes you can get it at any Parts store, Its Just a Line Reducer That goes on the Inside of the 1/4 inch Line to restrict Flow. The 1 in the instructions Has 4 sides & they simplly cut of the Piece on the Bottom. Then shove it up in the Line!
