Just had water pump and belt replaced, now I hear a bubbling noise from dash area from start up until I turn off the engine. Does not run hot.

More than likely you have an air pocket in the heater core. Here is a guide that talks about this:

Basically, we may need to drain and fill the cooling system again if you are not able to get it purged but I would suggest starting with using a fill funnel as shown below and that should help work the bubbles out.

Please see the picture below and then we can take the next step. Let me know if you have questions on this.

Thanks
