Do a search on my user name in the lt1 and ls1 search. I posted a few times about this. Im still having a problem with mine. I believe i have to bench bleed it since i ran the master dry.

But basically start with the Right rear, then left rear, then right front, the left front.
You could probably bleed the 2 ABS bleedings on the ABS modulator too.. (The silver box under the hood with your brake lines going into it). Make sure you keep the master cylinder topped off of fluid and dont let it get too low while bleeding. If someone's pushing on the pedal while you bleed make sure your open the bleeder valve after they put there foot down and you close the bleed valve before they release their foot from the pedal. Im using a vacuum to suck all the air out.

I ended up doing it in this order but after a while of bleeding i just started bleeding the **** out of everything everywhere.
