Definitely do not let your master cylinder go empty as you bleed. Also, you may want to put a 2x4 or something behind/under the brake pedal so that when a person depresses the brakes for you the pedal doesn't go all the way to the floor. This can prevent some of the sediment, etc. in the MC from getting sucked down into the lines and potentially even causing the MC to go bad. This advice was giving to me on the forum but unfortunately, it was after I did the last bleed job.
You can use a speed bleeder if you choose; but I just use the little cheapy hose and bottle from AutoZone or wherever.
Remember this order too when bleeding the 4 corners: RR, LF, LR, RF
Even a Haynes manual will give you some basic instructions and diagrams to follow for this car.
