Unfortunately I have had this problem with my Bro-in-laws 99 SS. The way these units are set up it is nearly impossible to bleed the air out. I did find out however that the bolt that holds the braided steel hose at the clutch mastercyclinder end was loose allowing air to enter into the line. Of course I found this out after I got pissed and replaced it with the new GM part number that replaced the earlier troubled factory units. Once I got that banjo bolt tightend down and rebled the unit on the bench it seemed find. My advice would be to check that bolt to make sure it is tight.
