Wasn't getting heat so slowly replaced heater core, water pump, radiator, and obviously the thermostat. But still not getting heat periodically. Was wondering if there is a way to bleed system for air pockets. Because there isn't pressure release valve on thermostat housing

No need for any special procedure to bleed coolant system if its NO heat issue try this start engine and warm it up turn heat on 2nd or 3rd speed check heater hoses under the hood by the fire wall are they both hot and if so its the blend door or its actuator.

Yes, to bleed the cooling system raise the front for the car up about two feet and start the engine, this will put the radiator fill above the heater code which should burp the coolant out of it, allow the engine to get hot while filling and then install the radiator/reservoir cap.
