What LUCID said... with some of my input

First, Make sure you can loosen the Bleeders on the brand new calipers. Then take them all the way out and put Anti Sieze grease on them..

Take out the Fuse, #8 I think, for the brake lights and stuff a piece of wood between the seat and the brake pedal. That closes the Master so fluid wont keep leaking out. If you do this, you shouldn't have to bleed the Fronts at all.

Get the Lines threaded on the new calipers a little before fastening them to the car. it just helps you not cross thread the lines.
You will want to pull the Brake line off the very last mount where it clips to the axle.
Bleeding: I have great luck with putting some fluid in the bottom of a bottle then run a tube from the bleeder to the bottom of the bottle. The Brake fluid in the bottle acts as a Check valve. Loosen teh Bleeder, get in the car, pump teh pedal about 7 times and come out and tighten the Bleeder. CHECK THE RESERVOIR then do the same procedure to the other side.
