Bleeding Brakes and ABS

[miataman]

Hi Fans,
I have a 1993 90 sport Q and was just told from a local repair shop that
due to the abs you need
special tools to bleed the brakes.....  I just replaced the front pads
and rotors and have air in the lines....  Will it work to use the old
fashioned method of having one person press the pedal
and one to turn the bleeder valve????  He said that the abs would not
work after this..   He wants $110 to bleed the system and replace all
the fluid.....  Is that a good price???
My abs is definitely not working now due the the air in the line.....
Thanks for your help in advance
