The fluid will push the air to the path of least resistance, and squirt out at the fittings. Have some rags handy to wrap around the lines to catch the fluid. Have your helper hold the pedal down as you tighten up the lines. This shuold take care of most of the air in the lines, you may still have to do a convential bleeding of the system if the padal is still a little mushy.
I've done it many times by myself just letting gravity do the work of the helper.
