is there a link between the car stalling and the radiator not being bled properly?

    basically just fitted a 16v engine in my car and yesterday is was idling perfect at 1k rpm but it was over heating so i fitted a vts nissens rad today and i haven't bled it properly and took it for a drive its still getting very hot but the light isn't coming on, but now the idling is horrible keeps going down to 500 rpm then jumps up the 1k rpm then goes back down again and at junctions it stalls, so would me not bleeding the rad properly have anything to do with it stalling ie the air in the system bogging it down? i wouldn't have thought so but my mate said this could be why the idle is rubbish now
