I tried and tried and tried, but my vacuum pump bleeder kit never did work on the Corvette. All my other cars worked great, but just not this one. 
I had to get help and do it the old fashioned way. Open bleeder, pedal down, close bleeder, pedal up...repeat. It took a while, but eventually I was able to get pressure and bleed the system.
No problems since.

the system to get any "push". After you have some fluid exit the right rear, go to the left and do the same, then the right front and home to the left front. Keep checking the fluid level in the master.
Then you should have enough pedal to bleed the calipers. Also, I use a plastic mallet to tap on the caliper since the casting tends to grab and hold some air bubbles. Hope this helps, good luck.
