If you do bleed the master cylinder off the car you must plug the outlets till you can get the lines connected. If you don't the brake fluid will leak out and you will get air in again. I find it much easier to bleed on-car, that way you use the pedal and not a screwdriver and you can quickly hook the lines up to it. The angle should have little effect, it is angled in the car when the car is level. I like to use small tubes and just point them into the resovoir so you can usually do it by yourself. Sometimes you run into a stubborn cylinder that is difficult to bleed. It takes 2 people and you have to put your finger over the hose when the pedal is released so it works like a check valve and you can force the air out. When the bubbles stop and you get a nice steam out of both hoses you know you got it. Top off the resovoir and hook up your lines quickly. Now bleed each caliper. Wipe up any spilled brake fluid aka paint remover/softener. If you haven't changed the fluid in the clutch now is a good time so both systems are done at the same time and both will be good for 2 years.
