It would be good to flush the system at the same time. Drain the rad. from the lower hose, keep it open. Open one of the heater hoses at the fire wall, insert your garden hose and just let it flow. This will flush the heater core and the block. Next do the same with the rad. You can flush it from the top rad hose, it will clean the rad. If the system is very dirty then use a rad. flush product from your local auto parts. Follow directions. Now, when finished tighten all the hoses except the heater hose. Just leave it on loose. Fill the system with the recommended fluid ( 50/50 ) is best. Start the engine and continue to fill the rad. When it gets full, all this with the heater inside the car on full heat, let the engine reach operating temp. You can open the heater hose slightly to let some air out. Some coolant will come out also. That's ok. Then close it back up, top up rad. and do the same over again till all the air is out. Check the heat inside, if good, tighten heater hose, top off rad. and check the coolant to see how the mixture is as for colder climates. Around -35 f is good. That's it. Good to go.
