I think the LS1 style clutches are the only ones with bleed screws I think you just gotta unscrew the clutch fluid cap and just keep pumping

There is no bleeder valve.

1. Fill reservoir with fluid.
2. get under the car and hold the slave cylinder with the little rod pointing down.
3. start pumping the slave cylinder about an inch in and out slowly until no more bubbles come out of the reservoir.

P.S after every 20 pumps or so hold the pushrod in a little more than an inch and have some1 put the reservoir cap on.once its on release the pushrod. then take the cap off again and keep pumping and repeat until bubbles are gone.

Yup, pump the hell outta it until all the air comes out of the line. It will take a while so might get some leather gloves as that piston ball end will wear a hole in your hand. Also, DO NOT press the clutch pedal in with the slave cyl unbolted from the car and it will tear apart - Trust me I know . Good luck!!!

You can also use a mighty vac with the slave cylinder unbolted and rod pointing down.
