It only takes a few minutes. I would suggest if you have time to gravity bleed the system first. This is my preference but you can let the fluid get in the system while you sit back and drink beer. Just make sure the reservoir doesn't empty and you are good to go. Once you have some fluid at all the bleeders then I would pressure bleed the system. Just make sure you put some rags around the reservoir just in case. Knock on wood I've never had a pressure bleeder leak yet but it does happen. If you are really worried about spend the 2 hours with a mighty vac pumpong and pumping. . Then drive it for awhile and pressure/vacuum bleed them again just to be sure there is no air in there.

This is exactly what I do/would do in this situation. The only thing I have to add is that if you do get stainless hard lines then buy a good quality flare tool. I broke 2 of them and wasted a lot of time on improper flares.
