fill the reservor to the full line then pump the clutch a few times then check to see if the level goes down. repeat until the reservor stays full. thats how i blead mine when i blew my slave cylinder apart.

That's not how to bleed an LT1 clutch. Fill it up, remove the slave cylinder from the tranny housing. Using your hand, push the pin in and out. As you push in, you'll feel air bubbles and crap being blown through. Keep doing it until you don't feel any of that stuff anymore.

it helps if you have a buddy to help. get under the car and remove the slave cylinder, then push the rod in with your had and release it. repeat until you dont feel any air bubbles passing through the slave cylinder. your buddy will keep putting brake fluid to keep the reservor from running out.

Yes, if you suck in air, all that work you did was for nothing. I usually did it by myself. I'd pump 2 times, then fill the cylinder, 2 times and then fill the cylinder.
