if you can pump it up and get the stiff feel..the system for the most part is working, right? if the pedal gets stiff..and phsssh! it slowly creeps to the floor, something is wrong. MC bad, or booster crapped out..

Bleed it, it works right, and in a few days you have problems again, then its more than air in system. And if it failed in an even bigger way, and that is how you found out, you'd wished you'd looked over it.
My '86 944 had similar systems when I picked it up from a shop, they said nothing wrong with the brakes when I brought it back(along with a few other issues that they didn't do right the first time).
Turns out I had a crack in my master cylinder at the Base!!! Brake fluid out when I pressed the pedal. Pumping the brakes would get there, but I stopped driving the car until I got a new master cylinder.
