Subject: vacuum bleeding?

> Has anyone ever thought of a way to bleed the cooling system on a Vanagon
by using a vacuum pump?  Would it be possible to hook up an electric pump of
some sort to the bleeder valve on the radiator, turn it on, and then while
someone keeps the reservoir topped off, run it until it runs free of
bubbles.  Just thinking of a way to totally bleed the system ...
