Do you have to bleed the cooling system after changing the thermostat on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier and if so how?

I would. Just remove radiator cap and start the engine and let it run for 30 minutes. As it runs, the stat will open and coolant will circulate pushing the air out. You will need to watch it and top off the coolant. After 30 minutes of cycling this will be done.
