Over the years I've read that lots of guys have problems bleeding brake lines with the frame mounted MC's.

Without a Miti-Vac you could try jacking up the rearend as high as you possibly can to encourage air to rise to the "top" making it (theoretically) easier to get it to bleed out. Then reverse it and jack the front end up to the hilt to do the front. Just a suggestion.
