Coolant system air removal question (can’t find answer)

I have removed and reinstalled the throttle body as part of the UIM removal.
I lost a small amount of coolant (throttle body coolant lines removal). The car had been sitting for a couple of weeks, so a very small amount came out.
Do I have to do the procedure to remove air from the system, or am I good to go?
i have tried to search, but I am not getting any results.
Thank you in advance.

If I'm understanding you correctly, I'm not sure why you removed the throttle body as that's not necessary in order to remove the UIM. Just try filling the system from that throttle body coolant line before reattaching it..

Do you just leave the TB hanging there? I always remove it completely. OP I just did this on my car also and didnt rebleed it. So far so good but only have about an hour between driving and idling.
