Depending on what engine you have. There are small bleed valves. The 3.1 will have one almost straight up from the water pump located in the pipe. Also one in the thermostat housing. The 3.4 also has them but I am not sure if they are in the same places.
Crack the screws open slightly and start filling the system with engine off. when coolant starts coming out the bleed screws. Lightly close them. You will want to use a screw driver in the slot or a pliers if they are already stripped or rounded. They will get very hot and you can get burned while it is running.
Run the engine and allow it to come to operating temp. About 195 depending on thermostat used.
Slight crack the bleed screws periodically letting steam escape until it's a steady stream and the thermostat opens.
Always double check the coolant levels again after engine cools down and sits or the next day if possible.
While the engine is cold and the system is not filled yet. I like to back the screws out and add a touch of antiseeze to the threads. Keeps them from pissing you off in the future.

How do you remove an air lock from a 96 T-Bird cooling system?
you need to bleed the system. Correct bleed the system. Look for a bleeder valve, that will be located on the highest point of the cooling system. Look near or on the thermostat housing. Look at all the cooling system hoses and look for this valve. Now if you don't find a valve then there is one way that will help to remove air. Either park the car on a steep hill with the front of the car heading up the hill or simply jack up the front of the car as high as possible. Turn the heater temp to hot, remove the radiator cap and start the engine. Allow it to reach operating temperature with the cap off, and most of the trapped air will escape through the radiator inlet. Add coolant if need be to keep it full.
