Yes, it just gives a clear path for the coolant to move while you get the air out.

You can block off both sides that go to the tb, put water in the water pump, keep adding coolant/water to the overflow tank and radiator, if there is no water near the impeller of the pump it can't push out the air

Are you opening the bleeder valves on the hoses and water pump housing?
