All that matters is that the reservoir level never falls below minimum when bleeding either system.

Does bleeding the clutch line require opening and closing the bleeder screw, or does it only require several pumps of the pedal (as suggested in a different thread here)??
Yes, there's a bleeder screw. Franklinjoseph and I did mine today. Once you open the system, it is inevitable to introduce air into the system, so why not bleed it to get the air out?!?!
