I didn't remove my m/c from the car. I followed the DRM instructions and picked the proportioning valve out vs beating it against some wood like the FSM suggests.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I will just drive the car (tomorrow should be a nicer day) and see how it feels. If it's not good then I'll bleed all the calipers again.

Good point and IMHO it's valid Bob. I guess it's easier to get the air from the connection point at the lines to the calipers and then out, than to bleed the air in the M/C and the connection point. It sure does take forever to get the air to the calipers, or at least in my car it does. Took me forever!
Also, I was always taught that unless you use a p-bleeder, any M/C work needs to be bench blead to negate the risk of bottoming out the M/C piston at the end of the bore & possibly damaging the piston seals when ya bleed it in the car. Actually, I did have to do a few sharp wacks, used my bench bleeder tool to smack the mount flange a few times and then a coupla hits on the oak block....it came out but it took some right sharp raps. I thought I was gonna break the thing.
