I have a question. I noticed the 1/4" hose lines, 1/8 NPT drill tap, and barb fittings being used to install the Cobra H/E. Did you tap into the end tanks of the H/E to install those bleeder lines? If so, how did you prevent fluid from flowing through those lines instead of through the H/E? Is it absolutely necessary to install those bleeders or can I just do the standard bleeding of the H/E in a bucket of coolant? What is the normal method of plumbing a Cobra H/E on the Cobalts with a surge tank instead of the stock filler neck?

yup as long as you can fit it.
yep right into the end tanks. the bleeder lines ensure air escapes the heat exchanger. if bled properly you dont really need to worry about these, however if you're using a surge tank from a cobalt, you might as well utilize them since the surge tank has the bleeder inlet. a small amount of fluid will always pass through the bleeders, but simply due to the amount of fluid circulating most of it passes through the heat exchangers as it should.
btw im back if you guys need any assistance, pm me or ask away here
