Default Bleeding Brakes

Is bleeding the brakes with a ABS system the same as none ABS?

Normally I just connect some surgical tubing to the brake bleed fitting (the other end of the surgical tubing is resting at the bottom of a 1/2 gallon container) and manually pump the brakes, adding fluid and pumping the brakes some more until the fluid coming out is good and clean and free of air. Not sure I can do the same with a ABS equiped system.

Just took a look in the service manual, that's how they recommend doing it so I don't think the ABS will be a problem:

No problem, I got it from the service manual pdf. There's a sticky to download it at the top of the forum if you want it.
