follow the top rad hose to where the tstat is.. on the water neck.. there is a bleeder for the coolant system..

let it warm up then crack the bleeder valve.. if you get coolant then its not trapped air.. but if you get air.. then remove the rad cap and keep adding coolant till the bleeder valve pukes coolant

no need to bleed a EG SOHC.

Fix the fan, jumper with a paper clip.

Head or headgasket is likely toast.
