Default S-10 caliper question

Hi all,
My MP brake kit came with single postion S-10 calipers. The instructions are a confusing. Do I mount the calipers with the bleed screws on top at the twelve o'clock position or on the bottom at the 6 o'clock position? The instructions say to "make sure the bleed screw is above the brake hose connection" This puts the bleed screw at the 6 o'clock position with the fluid chamber above the bleed screw. Won't this trap air?
Thx, Walt

I have an s-10. You have that caliper mounted on the wrong side my friend. Swap that one to the other side, and make sure the bleeder is in the 12 oclock position and youll be golden...
