It depends on the layout of the engine and cooling system hoses. I would not remove a bolt from anywhere. Typically remove the thermostat housing and fill from there with a heater hose removed. This is usually the top of the engine or close to. Ensure that the heater core and hoses are filled with coolant to avoid an air lock in the core.

Another popular approach is to run the engine at idle and fill normally, but I do not like that.
