Coolant Air Bleed from Heater Loop

[lpmagruder]

Has anyone tried to bleed air from the heater loop instead of the VCP location?

I unfortunately didn't find out about the VCP mod until I had an assembled and running car, and at this point I've had to crack the cooling system open twice and re-bleed. After doing it the first time, I can get it done pretty quickly now (at least quickly enough to make me question if the amount of disassembly needed to do the mod would be worth it)

But, I noticed the top pipe of the heater loop which you put that "u" piece on is connected to the same manifold that the VCP mod is done to. Has anyone tried running a longer loop upwards to a "T" or one of those air bleeder valves? Seems like it should easily catch that air pocket, especially if the back of the car was slightly elevated.
