When replacing brake lines, wheel cylinders or calipers air will get into the lines because they were taken apart. Usually air gets into the lines before you work on it because the master cylinder got too low on brake fluid letting air into the lines. Also a bad seal on a caliper piston and a brake wheel cylinder will allow air into the lines.

Why would you want to replace all the brake lines? You can flush the entire system and install fresh DOT3 brake fluid. I can see no reason to replace all the brake lines. Why are you doing this? Unless your brake lines are rotted out or someone has cut them... there is no reason to replace all four lines.
