I've bled anti lock before without problems, so I don't know.

If you don't have a mity-vac hand vacuum pump, it is a tool well worth having. Put some Teflon tape on the bleeder valve threads so you draw fluid through the bleeder and don't draw air past the threads.

Really helpful tool to get the job done quickly, with one person if necessary, and get all the air out the first time.

Didn't get a chance to bleed the front calipers the other day but will be bleeding 'em here in a few minutes... also left out the fact that I did use a vac pump on the rear calipers the other day when I wrote the last post... hand vac definitely makes the job a lot easier and avoids turning something relatively simple into two man operation.
