In contrast to the P38, no addtl bleeding of the ABS sys is required unless maintenance has been performed on those bits (see bold passages below). I assume you've not done any maintenance there based on your prior posts.

Pages 70-4 and 70-5 in the RAVE:

70.25.02
Bleeding of the brake system can be carried out
using the procedures given on TestBook/T4, or by
following the manual procedure given below.
Check
1. The following procedure covers bleeding the
complete system
but where only the primary or
secondary circuit have been disturbed in
isolation, it should only be necessary to bleed
that system. Partial bleeding of the hydraulic
system is only permissible if a brake pipe or
hose has been disconnected with only minor
loss of fluid.
WARNING: If any components upstream of
brake modulator, including the modulator
itself are replaced, the brake system must
be bled using the procedure on TestBook/
T4, to ensure that all air is expelled from the
new component(s).

Adjust
1. Raise front and rear of vehicle.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a
vehicle supported only by a jack. Always
support the vehicle on safety stands.
2. Check all pipe and hose connections are tight
and there are no signs of leakage.
3. Top-up fluid level in brake reservoir to 'MAX'
mark.
+MAINTENANCE, PROCEDURES,
Fluid reservoirs.
WARNING: Do not allow dirt or foreign
liquids to enter the reservoir. Use only new
DOT 4 brake fluid from airtight containers.
Do not mix brands of brake fluid as they
may not be compatible.
4. Attach bleed tube to front brake caliper bleed
screw on passenger side, submerge free end in
a clear container containing brake fluid.
5. Apply pressure to brake pedal several times,
then apply steady pressure.
6. Loosen bleed screw to release brake fluid and
air. Allow pedal to return unassisted.
7. Depress brake pedal steadily through its full
stroke and allow to return unassisted. Repeat
procedure until a flow of clean, air-free fluid is
purged into container, then whilst holding pedal
at end of its downward stroke, tighten bleed
screw to 14 Nm (10 lbf.ft)
CAUTION: Ensure the fluid in the reservoir
is maintained between the minimum and
maximum levels throughout the bleed
procedure using new brake fluid.
8. Top up brake system reservoir.
9. Repeat procedure at each wheel in the
sequence shown.
(RHD: 1.LF 2. RF 3. LR 4. RR)
WARNING: Braking efficiency may be
seriously impaired if the incorrect bleed
sequence is used.
10. Remove tube from bleed screw and fit bleed
screw dust cap.
11. Apply brakes and check for leakage.
12. Remove stands and lower vehicle.
13. Road test vehicle. Check brake pedal for short
firm travel when brakes are applied. 
RRC 2Dr, RRC 4Dr,
P38, and 2 L322s

30 mins max - you can bleed the rears without jacking the car up, just lie underneath it and you can access the rear bleed nipples.

Need to remove front wheels obviously but whole job could easily be done in 30 mins..... Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....
