Larry:

At 85F ambient and the temp wheel set for 75-80 F (where mine is), you will get water through the heater core -- I could hear mine gurgling as the monvalve opened and closed (water goes in the top, out the bottom -- you will get some noise until the air works out).

As you know, you will "use" some coolant until all the air works out. May take a while, both of mine did.

Got mine buttoned up today, everything seems to work fine except the ash tray light (can't find the last bulb, I dropped it somewhere) and I have no screws holding the ashtry in -- didn't have any to start with since the previous person who did this job didn't put them back then!
