Well I went out tonight and flushed the coolant system for a second time. Check out what my coolant looked like (keep in mind that I flushed the system a week ago and put water back in). Take a look at the bucket of yellow crap that came out (the bucket wasn't clean, so nevermind the floaters):
So I am going to flush this out tomorrow, put on my new temp gauge and thermostat, and then put in my 50/50 antifreeze mix.
But she started right off on the first click, no choke required, and she burped and spat water a bit early on but once the radiator found it's level (which was a bit lower than anticipated, but those dang air pockets), it didn't throw any fits while I was out moving some equipment.
Figure I'll run her for about 20 minutes tomorrow after putting the new parts on and filling her with the antifreeze mix just to make sure it is mixed well and all throughout the coolant system.
