    You're overthinking all this. Just fill the pump with oil and start the engine. Turn the wheel slowly side to side to expel any air, check the level, and go for a drive. Did your bleeding instructions come with the new box?

Mine was reinstalled and filled before the engine went in so when I started the car to run the cam in, it burped power steering fluid everywhere, helped by the big fan blowing on the engine.
