It's been a while I could not remember if mitivac worked with abs or not. I
have 2 or 3 of them, but can't find the stupid hoses and the reservoir that

IIRC, only the gravity method doesn't work with ABS. You should build one

Yes, any air in the system will render it worthless.
Yes, you can use the mityvac solo to bleed the brakes - just watch the
reservoir level.
