Feel the heater hoses when the car is hot. This will quickly tell you if you're getting coolant into the core. Both hoses should be hot. If not, after it cools, loosen the hose until coolant comes out. This would clear the air bubble. Was the heat working at all after the work? Is there heat with the blower on low, but not high? If the core is leaking you smell coolant. If its a minor leak the windows fog up on cold days. You'd sill have heat, though.
