Once no more coolant is allowed to get in, remove the funnel (a drip pan and quick hands are a must here) and replace the cap. top off the resevoir and allow the car to run with the cap on and take it for a 20 min drive. Bring it back in, let it cool completely. Remove the cap and add fluid as needed.

That is a good method too, but don't forget to run the heater to get the air out. I would do it after you come up to temp of coarse, and fill if you see any air.
