ANSWER:

As long as there are no air pockets from the above repairs from not properly bleeding the system then these conditions, along with the repairs already made, do make me think you have head gasket problems.

This engine was know for having headgasket problems causing overheating, and blowing cold air when heater on. Sometimes the gasket forces compression gases into the cooling system, causing air pockets. The air pockets cause the boiling over, and the no heater from heater.
