I have a 91 cutlaas with a 3.3 It was low on fluid and I blew the water pump. I had a mech replace the water pump and and now I here bubbling when sitting in the car. I'm sure that I have air in my cooling sys and need to know how to remove it. I live in a cold climate so I use the heat all the time.

Welcome to AF !!
With the engine cold, remove the radiator cap.
Fill and the resivoir if ithey're low, then start the engine and let it warm up fully.
Make sure you turn the heater on high heat and the fan on low.
The level should drop as the thermostat opens, add fluid as needed.
If that doesnt work its very likly your cooling system needs a flush. Especialy the heater core.
and Happy Holidays!
