Yes, but would be better off with a bleeder pump to put pressure on the reserve tank, then to have to re-apply the sealant on the threads of the bleeders over and over, so you not sucking air in to the system between pumps.
Hence on the speed bleeders, every time you go to uses them, should be pulling them all the way out to apply new sealant on the threads, leave them loose on the reinstall, so they can flow fluid but no leak air back in on the threaads, then tighten in the end for that use.
With power bleeder pump tank up on the reserve tank, don't have to worry about leaks in the threads on the bleeders since you have 15lbs of pressure from the head of the system outwards, and when the stock bleeders are open, any small leak in the threads will have fluid flowing out, and your done one you do get clear flow.
Note, not a fan of filling the bottle with fluid in it, but instead just refill the reserve tank after each caliper instead.
Myself, have a pressure cap that I use with an air compressor set to 15lbs of pressure, with an decadent in line from the compressor to cap. Hence when not using the line for this, it's back on my airbrush set up. If you check around, can get the just the metal GM pressure caps for around $30, HF has the in line decadent for a few bucks.

Drifting
If you have a vacuum brake bleeder, you can go ahead and use it like usual but you don't need to be as careful. Just saying that you don't have to pump the brakes or use pressure at the reservoir. Or at least, it worked for me.
