Air in oil lines

Hello everyone, I just finished installing the engines on my 98 sportster 1800 and pressurized the oil lines to check for leaks there's a small leak in the hose that connects the oil tank to the filler cap and there's no oil getting to one of the pumps it stop half way thru just past the check valve. I assume it's air in the lines if so, what's the best way to bleed the whole system. As for the filler cap hose there's no holes or rip that will cause it to leak it's just that the clamp is not sealing properly and it's as tight as it will go.
 
For the leaky hose, cut a small end off the hose and re clamp and tighten it. To bleed the lines either open the bleed screw on the oil pump, or start it on the hose and advance the oil pimp full to pump extra oil and air out.
