Default Coolant Refill LT1

What is the recommended procedure for refilling the coolant for an LT1? I've drained and flushed the system already, just unsure of the refill process. I found a great breakdown of the procedure on here once before but can't find it anymore, so I apologize if this is a redundant question

Fill it.
Open bleeder(s) until coolant comes out smooth w/no air
Close bleeder, top fill tank to spout neck.
Fill over flow to "Cold" mark...

Done.
