[DeTomaso] brake bleeding

This afternoon I decided to replace the brake hoses on the Mangusta. I removed the left rear hose and plugged the hard line with a nylon stopper while I went to the workbench to disconnect the old hose from the banjo bolt. While I was doing that the nylon stopper fell out and the rear circuit reservoir pretty much drained out by the time I got back to the car. Can I just go ahead and top up the reservoir and bleed the brakes with my Mighty Vac or should I pull the master cylinder and bench bleed it? I'm not getting any gravity flow from the bleed screws, so I'm afraid there may be an air bubble in the master.
