Fans wired improperly!
Sledge:
Yes, I have started it up and test driven it. Simply awesome! 
I test drove it long enough for the fans to kick in automatically and both fans do come on at the same time.
One thing I did find before I started her up for the first time, the fans were wired in reverse polarity and was blowing air out the front of the radiator. You might check yours and see if it is wired properly. I had to correct the pins in the 2 white connectors at the fans. Wire colors should match red/red and blk/blk in each connector. Mine weren't! All fixed now!. I almost forgot about finding that!
As far as getting the air out, I just filled up the cooling system and did a couple of cycles of running engine at operatiing temp and cool down, took a few days. I keep checking the level and it burped out the air and is at a steady level now. I found that aprox. 3.5 gal is the capacity of the cooling system.
Happy Holidays!
