Default air in power steering

anybody out there got a good way to bleed the air from a 1987 302 power steering system?? i just bought the car, and the previous owner put this pump on within a year ago. the reservoir leaks pretty good, so i'll fix that first, but there is a ton of bubbles in there. i was told to get some ford vacuum bleeder to put on the reservoir instead of the cap. is that the only way? if so, can anybody tell me where to find that vacuum bleeder or at least the adapter?? thanks all
