On the slave I was able to bleed it installed using a rubber hose and a drain pan (and a pedal pusher). Took a while but thats probably because the process (I think) undid my bench bleeding of the master, and all the air in the line between master/slave didn't help anything I'm sure. So an hour or so of pedal pushing and bleeding finally got a solid stream of fluid out of the bleed valve on the slave.

End result: Clutch actually works (it's amazing how much better it drives with a fully functioning clutch huh? who'da thunk it!)

Thanks everyone

While it seems to work good it may be possible to get it to work even better. Look up under the dash where the clutch master cylinder hooks to the clutch pedal. Remove the clip and slide the rod off the pedal. Look for this piece to be grooved. This happens to the pedals after a lot of miles. If this is the case remove the clutch pedal only and have the groove in it welded up. Grind and file smooth. The hole in the rod for the clutch master cylinder may also be ovalized if this is case replace the master cylinder. It will make a big difference as this causes the slave cylinder rod not to push as far. I sell a lot of these hydraulic set ups to my customers and always repair these before shipping out.
