the purpose of bench bleeding is to ensure that there are no air pockets trapped in the master cylinder. There's no reason you can't "bench" bleed the system after it's installed in the car, just make sure that the cylinder is level when you do it. If it's not, air could get trapped in the corners of the ports, only to be fed into the system later. Level level level, it's crucial in a new system.
