I just replaced the radiator, upper & lower radiator hoses on a 1992 LeSabre with the 3800 V-6. Does anyone know if there is a cooling system burp / bleed procedure to purge the air out of the cooling system? I noticed there is a bleed screw at the thermostat housing? I don't want to over heat the engine due to trapped air in the cooling system.

You are on the right track, should work for you! What I do is fill thru the thermostat housing with the thermostat removed, replace thermostat, finish filling thru the radiator, fire the car up with the heater on and use the bleed screw to get the air out of the system.
