If it's air in the system, I am thinking that I won't see that in the oil pressure reading (maybe a blip), but I could be wrong. Thoughts on this? Wondering how to test it to get good information from the test.

Are you just going to start the car after draining the oil cooler? Because that would be really bad for the car. Or are you going to start the car after priming?
If you're starting without priming I would log oil pressure a few times starting the car as normal. Then I would log the oil pressure after work on the oil system.
If you want to see the results of priming, then log priming the oil system without draining the loop then log priming after draining the oil loop.
We are seeing if there is a drop in oil pressure and for how long due to air pockets.
