Default How to Bleed Coolant

All my search results come back with there being a bleed screw on the thermostat housing and by the throttle body but on my 94 I swear I can't find them. I only see the two that are on the back of the heads connected by a pipe. Is this something different? Do I just let coolant drain down my bellhousing or what do I do.

I see it now, thank you guys. So what are those two banjo bolts the book calls bleeder valves on the back of the heads for? Is it just a way for the coolant to pass from one head to another?

I believe the back of the heads are steam tubes? I may however be mistaken. Not very familiar on LT1s
