How do you ensure there is no air lock when replacing a thermostat?
First you need to run the engine until the thermostat opens, you will see the water running through the radiator. the coolant will go down into the radiator You need to continue to add coolant until you don't see anymore air coming up, or coolant go down into the radiator maybe three times that the thermostat opens.

How do you change the thermostat on a 94 Ford Probe?
Remove the Air Intake Box so you can see in below... there is a pipe running right into the bell where the thermostat is housed. There is one bolt that you need to take remove (it is to the right, below the distributor, it goes into the engine block). Then there are the other 12 mm bolts on the bell of the thermostat housing to remove. After removing those the thermostat should be able to come right out. When replacing i would recommend getting a replacement thermostat with a jiggle pin...

Make sure the radiator is full of water, don't just check the overflow tank, but do make sure the car is cold before removing the radiator cap. Also the thermostat could be frozen closed or you could have a failed water pump. Try replacing the thermostat and flushing the cooling system first. Don't forget to buy a thermostat gasket when purchasing the thermostat.
