Help! Brake bleeding turned south. 200 1983

Fellas:
After completing a major front end jod (replaced tie rods & ends, strut cartridges & bearings and all front suspension bushings), I decided to bleed the brakes. Heck! The car's already up on blocks so, why not? Everything's going OK, my wife doing the brake pedal pumping and I, the brake bleed fittings. Then, the ultimate stupidity set in. Working on the third fitting, my wife mentioned that it didn't feel the same. I checked the reservoir and guess what? Yes! I let it run dry. Now, the pedal just kind-a go all the way. So, OK this is the first time I did a brake bleed flush and I am aware that I was suppossed to make sure the reservoir didn't run dry. Now, did I somehow screw something bigger than dog pooh-pooh? Help me fellow bricksters!
