Replaced clutch/flywheel/slave = HARD pedal

Replaced clutch/flywheel/slave = HARD pedal
I'm 2/3 through installing a LS7 clutch, flywheel and LS7 slave in my 05 V. No big problems during the process. After re-installing the trans, driveshaft & shifter, I pushed the clutch pedal expecting it to go to the floor and it is hard. I mean, zero movement. The slave is not connected at all and the bleeder is open.
When I turn the driveshaft by hand, the wheels turn at the back and the rear trans yolk turns too. When torquing the pressure plate bolts, the engine turned over, so I know from the pressure plate forward is turning. That says to me that I've got a problem with the slave or the way the two are mated - I think? Sliding the trans back onto the engine went ok, since I have a fancy trans jack (a must have) so I didn't feel anything go wrong during that process.
Or, of course, I could be prematurely judging things and should just bleed the clutch, etc. and check again, but I seem to have the opposite problem of most people.
Thanks for your help!
