once the air bubble is in the lines, how level car is doesnt change the bubble location. If you are worried about bleeding the MC, crack the brake lines at the mc first and pump until you get fluid out and then tighten them up. This is a little messy but with care, not a big problem. the only issue with the rear end is bleeding the brakes with the diffy dropped. this activates the compensator so you cant bleed the brakes. If the system is completely dry, fill up each caliper thru the bleeder hole. this will speed up the process.
