Default Bleed the Slave cylinder or not?? (and a few other ?'s)

I'm doing a LS1/T56 swap into my '91. Do I have to bleed the slave cylinder before putting it on the tranny and hooking the motor and trans together?? I thought I had to bleed the master cylinder, but wasn't sure about the slave cylinder. If so, how? Any good links to bleeding it or both of them? Also, how do I install the pilot bearing? Just tap it into the crank? Should it be flush, countersunk, or what?? Sorry for the dumb questions.


Thanks!

TTT, anyone?? I know the MC needs bled, but what about the SC?? That is my main concern. If I don't have to bleed it, I'm going to go ahead and hook the motor and trans together.

There is a sealed/ quick dis-connect on the line so unless you allowed more fluid to escape (or let air in) than comes out with the un-snap operation( no air should get in) the slave should be ok.

These are brand new GM parts... that is why I'm asking. I guess I'll just install the SC, then bench bleed the MC, assemble it all, then bleed in the car as 1 unit. I might get a mityvac too.

Thanks!
