If this is your first time bleeding a completely empty/new brake system on a C3 Corvette, the best advice I can give you is to have someone with experience help you.
This can be a character building experience and not for the rookie mechanic!
If you use one of the mity-vac units, make sure that you use some teflon tape on the threads of the bleeders. Otherwise the vac will suck air right past the threads and you will never know if you are getting straight fluid or there is still air coming from the lines and caliper.
