Early A Disc Brake Help Needed!!

The bleeders are not at the 12 o'clock position but slightly lower, they do point up. When I installed the disc set up I mounted the calipers to the back side of the rotor instead of the front for sway bar clearance.

I did not bleed the master cylinder, the entire brake system is new and had no brake fluid in it. I didn't think this was a big deal because the whole system was dry.

When bleeding out the fronts, it seemed like there were no more air bubbles. Would it help to remove the front clapiers, with the hoses still attached, and holt them in a way where the bleeder is at the very top? Would this work better to get trapped air out? Thanks, Keith.
