B14 only has one bleeder screw, unlike the B13. The bolt on the thermostat housing will allow you to bleed the radiator, and nothing else (since the thermostat is obviously closed on a cold start).

Just pop the bolt loose and pour coolant/water/whatever you're using until a steady stream comes out, then tighten that bolt.

Start the car, heater on full blast, leave the radiator cap off, and then let the system take care of most of the air pockets. Just keep topping off the radiator until the water starts to overflow from the neck. Cap it off, check overflow level, and drive.

Scroll down about 3/4 of the page to the SR20DE section. I was trying to find a pic of it from my motor when I did the swap, but I couldnt find it... so I googled it and found it for you.

And ignore the water pump stuff.... If you take that plug out and oil comes out, you have the wrong one. Not sure if the DE's have it, but my DET has two holes that are similar. One was coolant and the other was oil.
