Awesome. Keep an eye on the coolant level for a bit and make sure your overflow is full.

I will. Especially when it does the "burp" that way if I need to add more. The hardest part of that whole repair was the bolt that hold the radiator hose over the thermostat cuz the threads on the female side were messed up so I had to tap new threads.

After changing the coolant do I need to worry about the air or does it flush itself out?

For small bubbles it will burp itself, for big ones, you'll need to burp it.

However, I don't think you'll need to worry about a big burp as you only changed the radiator and didn't mess with the intake or heads or anything.
