50% G-05, pop off the plug on the top (passenger side) of radiator and fill from the reservoir.
Close plug, finish fill, start engine and check level.
Check for leaks.
Just a guess, haven't done this job yet.
Not exactly. it's self-purging from the overfill canister. I haven't done it either, but here's the FSM details:
REFILLING COOLING SYSTEM
(1) Tighten the radiator draincock and the cylinder
block drain plug(s) (if removed).
CAUTION: Failure to purge air from the cooling system
can result in an overheating condition and
severe engine damage.
(2) Fill cooling system with the antifreeze mixture
(Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID
TYPES - DESCRIPTION). Fill pressure bottle to service
line and install cap.
NOTE: The engine cooling system will push any
remaining air into the coolant bottle within about an
hour of normal driving. As a result, a drop in coolant
level in the pressure bottle may occur. If the
engine cooling system overheats and pushes coolant
into the overflow side of the coolant bottle, this
coolant will be sucked back into the cooling system
ONLY IF THE PRESSURE CAP IS LEFT ON THE
BOTTLE. Removing the pressure cap breaks the
vacuum path between the two bottle sections and
the coolant will not return to cooling system.
(3) With heater control unit in the HEAT position,
operate engine with pressure bottle cap in place.
(4) Add coolant to pressure bottle as necessary.
Only add coolant to the pressure bottle when
the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm
engine will be higher due to thermal expansion.
NOTE: The coolant bottle has two chambers. Coolant
will normally only be in the outboard (larger) of
the two. The inboard chamber is only to recover
coolant in the event of an overheat or after a recent
service fill. The inboard chamber should normally
be empty. If there is coolant in the overflow side of
the coolant bottle (after several warm/cold cycles of
the engine) and coolant level is above cold full
when cold, disconnect the end of the overflow hose
at the fill neck and lower it into a clean container.
Allow coolant to drain into the container until emptied.
Reconnect overflow hose to fill neck.

but because the idiot mechanic left the block sitting OUTSIDE without the cylinder head on it for 3 months. It got FILLED with water. Of course anything that wasn't normally an oil surface rusted if it was the right metal. HOWEVER... The oil pan was not on the block, and when I knocked it over and started pulling parts off... Everything UNDER the pistons was still coated in oil and had NOT rusted. Except for cylinder #1, it actually came apart rather easily and even rotated freely!
