High pressure line no longer under pressure!

Greetings all,
Well the age thing cropped up again on my '89 200.... the high pressure
line from the power steering pump to the "bomb" developed a small leak
sometime over the past week or so and I ordered a new one as well as a pump
to reservoir hose as that was original as well and had been "sweating" for
a few months... no leaks though.
Anyway, as luck would have it the damn high pressure line gave out today
and shot power steering fluid all over the ground... a quick tow home and
now I have to wait for the parts to arrive.... SO, anything odd I should
look out for? I've never messed with the hydraulics before however the hose
swap looks extremely easy and straight forward. Will that be the case when
I start removing parts? Other than bleeding the system with the wheels off
the ground I can't see any problem(s) that could take place. Easy job for
a semi-wannabe backyard mechanic in training to please his wife????
Thanks....
