hmm, input at top barb and output at bottom barb should purge the air out eventually or should i place the computer on it's side (hence barb is up) to purge air out?

Stronger
is better. Stainless steel worm clamps are the best. I never heard of anyone cracking a barb. CoolSleves are....well, cool, but useless, unless you are having kinking problems (reroute) or collapse from suction. (you
may need something on the pump inlet where there is the most suction).
29/30*C temp of what? Under what conditions (load? idle?). What are you using to monitor temps? Try CoreTep and a heavy load (CPUBurn-In, OCCT etc.). If you have Nvidia video, NvTempLogger works well.
Gravity will tend to make the air move upwards. If the water flow is downward it will just take longer to bleed the air out, unless the air gets trapped, then you have to do the tipping/shaking thing to get it all out. If you don't get all the air out of the blocks/rad there will be dead spots where there is no cooling.
