I have a tool called an Airlift, which is just a fancy venturi vacuum mounted to a radiator. It works wonders for getting air out. If it's worth the 100$, you can get one on a tool truck (SnapOn, Matco, Mac, Cornwell). The other tool I use to help burp air is a funnel that mounts to the radiator fill. I forget its exact name, but it's usually yellow.. sometimes red.. and can be found at auto parts stores. It makes SURE the highest point is the radiator. Subarus, Porsches, BMWs and all kinds of other cars are just as hard to get the air out of.

Fan shrouds make a huge difference. But if you're not pulling enough CFM at idle, you're going to overheat. Make sure you have adequate fans, and make sure they're shrouded.
