Bleeding ABS systems?

Is there any special steps I should take bleeding an ABS equipped rx7? I've never had one before and from the FSM it says to bleed all the brakes then bleed the abs pump itself.

Also, how well do the brake bleeder vacuum guns work, the ones that run off of an aircompressor?

nothing special to bleeding a ABS system , only if you compressed the pistons , or going to ,, open the bleeder alittle bit so the fluid has somewhere to go otherwise the valve for the abs might get stuck open .. other than that abs bleeds like any other brake system .. start futherest away from the master cylinder , do the back and then the front.
