Bleeding coolant?

just curious about the best method to bleed the coolant system of air. Going to be doing a stage 3 kit install on my car this weekend and will need to get all the air out of the cooling system afterwards

Oh alright so not your engine coolant system but the heat exchanger system. Your stock heat exchanger should have a little brass plug in the top of it that you can use to let out trapped air. Do you have opt. B reservoir or just filler neck?

just the filler neck in assuming. Car Is mostly stock. So the supercharger cooling system is completely separate from the cars engine cooling system?

Exactly. Heat exchanger circuit operates at much cooler temperature than engine coolant system.
