Brakes, PSM, SS lines, caliper rebuild, bleeding?

After my last visit to the shop they told me its about time to do the brakes. I haven't done a lot of work on the car but I think for a basic rotor and pad swap I should be ok. However, I may do some extra stuff "while I'm there".

First, according to the search feature, I can bleed the brakes even with PSM if I don't get air in the system, correct? I'll get the pressure bleeder.

Second, I'd like to powder coat the calipers. While they're off, I might as well replace the seals, etc. I think I'll pull the calipers, pinch off the old lines and do the powder coating/rebuild. Next, replace the rotors, install the calipers/pads, and then swap the old rubber lines with the SS lines. Will I lose a lot of brake fluid while doing this? Too much such that I'll need the PWIS to actuate the valves? Should I rebuild calipers, hook up the old rubber lines to them, bleed the system, then swap the SS lines and re-bleed?

Trying to figure out figure out the reinstall sequence without requiring durametic tool.

caliper - rubber hose - bleed - SS lines - bleed
or
caliper - SS lines - bleed


Finally, I need to bleed the clutch too? While doing the clutch, it needs to be depressed?

TIA
