Z06 Break Bleeding
I replaced the lines with steel braded ones and I checked to make sure the connections are not leaking
I'm having one he!! of a time getting the air out!
Each caliper has two bleeder screws, do I do one at a time or both together?
Any ideas?

Find yourself a Motive break bleeder. VERY help full. Start at the RIGHT REAR, then LEFT FRONT, next LEFT REAR, last RIGHT FRONT. This was right out of the service manual.

You might want to consider Speed Bleeders. Basically they are a one way valve. They were suggested to me by another forum member and I found them the answer to bleeding brakes quickly and easily by myself. I believe I paid about $7 apiece. If you are interested do a search. If you can't find them PM me and I'll check my folder.

You do have the bleed valves on the top of the caliper, right?
The bleed valves must be on the top of the caliper or you mounted them upside down by putting them back on the wrong side of the car. You'll never get the air out if they're upside down.

Do the inners, then the outers.

Just finished doing what your pic shows. Wore out the padlets in one weekend at TWS. Carbotech's are in now. Just some deja vu going on.
