Try gravity bleeding them. If the flex hoses to the front calipers have not collapsed they should gravity bleed easily. My 78 Spider is the only car I have owned that actually gravity bleeds quite well with no need to leave the bleeders open for hours to get the flow going. Else you may need to vacuum bleed them to prime the master cylinder.
