Paul,

  Re:

    I removed the thermostat, but now I'm thinking that if I am successful
in purging all of the air out of my system, it will all be for naught, as
when I re-install my thermostat, I will loose a lot of coolant, and have to
start all over with the purging.  

  Try drilling a 3/32" hole through the thermostat flange, near the edge; install with the hole oriented at the top.    First benefit is no air gets trapped under the thermostat.  Second is that the thermostat opens sooner.
