You'll be disconnecting the line between the reservoir and the ABS controller, so air's going to get in there.  You can mitigate that by gravity bleeding the MC, but chances are you'll still get some air into the controller.  Do a standard bleed and see how it feels.  If it doesn't feel right, your local dealer should be willing to hook it up to the DT and bleed it for 1/2 hour's labor.

I think ppl over think this. Let me tell you what I did. I sucked all of the fluid out of the master cylinder, removed the line (being careful not to get any DOT 4 on my paint), then installed the new line. Next I hooked up a vacuum bleeder to the right side front brake caliper and sucked fluid through watching for bubbles and keeping the master cylinder from running dry. After draining the master cylinder about 3 times I simply pumped the lever and opened the bleeder like a normal brake bleed. Did this about 3 or 4 times. My ABS light goes out over 3mph like from the factory and the brakes work wonderful. Really not hard at all...
