Default Changing out the water pump

Whats up guys, I got a 1998 Z28 5.7 V8, Just recently found coolant leaking out of the water pump so im changing it out tonight. It doesn't look too difficult should be straight forward.

The only thing I need is some sort of procedure on how to Bleed the system when I am putting new coolant in. I have heard that any sort of air in the system is NOT good.

F body w/LS1 bleeds itself nicely. Just keep filling after the stat opens till it won't take any more.
