As long as you keep your master cylinder filled up, the only thing you'll need to bleed will be the calipers. When changing my brakes, I did a complete bleed and have had no problems.

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. There are bleeder screws on the ABS unit. You should bleed the ABS unit, bleed your brakes, then bleed the ABS unit again. Twice is always better than once
