You do not have to bleed anything.

If you have the top working, fill the pump reservoir and operate the top up and down. As the lines and cylinders fill with fluid (if the system is dry) you will hear the sound of the pump change and add more fluid. Any air in the system will be returned to the pump reservoir.

It's like filling your power steering when you have changed out a part.
Fill it, turn the wheels back and forth a few times and fill it again. No bleeding required.
