Yes, you don't want the pump to run dry IMHO

Wrong!!! The return line will NOT suck the ATF in. You have to push it in, that's what the flush machine does. Or you can pour it into the tranny fill tube. If you are pouring it in the fill tube only drain out a few quarts at a time. Then put a couple qts in, and drain a couple more out the out line. Also you will probably have a syphoning effect going on from the return line, so you may need to plug that line though the whole process.
When pouring in the fill tube go slow, and look to make sure your o-ring in the middle of the fill tube isn't leaking ATF out all over the floor.
