Having a LS engine would make no difference.
I would try a Mity Vac vacuum bleeder or a Motive pressure bleeder. I think some of the parts stores have loaner tools. Check with them.
Back in the day I made a pressure bleeder. I took a piece of 1/4" steel flat stock sized a bit bigger than MC cover. Drilled and tapped two 1/8" NPT holes in the steel plate. Then I screwed in two 1/8" nipples. Then using rubber hoses connected the two nipples to a "T" to a single piece of rubber hose with a air hose fitting. On the under side of the plate I glued a piece of inner tube to seal it to the MC. I used a couple of c-clamps to clamp it to the top of the MC. Ran about 30-40 PSI. Worked great. You just have to refill the master as you bleed.
