Default brake bleeding question?

I just changed out to c5 corvette brakes and stainless lines. I of course have to bleed the brakes now. I have a vacuum bleeder so I can do this by myself. The question is do I hook up the vacuum at the calipers only or do I hook it up to the ABS bleeders aswell? I've only ever bled cars at the calipers but not sure if these cars have a different procedure or not.

Unless you drained the line between the master and ABS there should be no air in that line so no need to bleed it.

Do not bleed it from the abs module. Just from the calipers. Do this if it's still spongy : After you bleed them, go for a drive and put on side of the wheels on some grass when driving at 15mph or less(find a place where there aren't alot of people) and hit the brakes. It will activate the abs module and pump and air out. Do it on the other side to activate that side. And rebleed. Should clear out any air in the lines. I doubt there will be though.
