Default Line lock questions (keeping ABS block)

Just a few quick questions. On a 98+ f-body, which of the lines going from the brake cylinder to the ABS block needs to be removed to install the line lock on the front brakes (front or back on the brake cyl)? Also, does anyone actually wire in a pressure switch for the brake lights like Hurst says is stongly recommended?

And last question. Could I purge backwards from the inlet of the ABS block blowing thru the 2 new line sections and the line lock by just putting c-clamps on the front calipers after everythings sealed up? It seems like it would be easier to blow the air bubbles upwards, and there doesn't seem like there would be a lot of volume there to fill.

Thanks

Back line from master to line lock to ABS block marked for the front brakes,tighten all lines except for the line at the ABS block,leave it slightly loose.Have someone in the car push pedal down and hold,tighten line and repeat till no air bubble and your done.I didn't use the pressure switch and the system works great and has no affect on the ABS.
