Swapping a caliper - bleed the whole system? 200 1993

Thanks everyone.

I just flushed the system a month ago, so everything is fresh. I gather that if I can keep the fluid from draining the MC, I should be ok without bleeding every corner.

Now for my next trick...

I need to disconnect the caliper for about 1.5 hours while I run across town to exchange it for a new one (don't want to make the trip twice) and don't want to loose fluid.

Will the tape over the MC cap air hole work as well as depressing the pedal a few inches? How about sealing off the end of the brake line with something until I'm able to return?

Thanks again.
