    I've never done it on an fbod, but on my DSM there's a bleeder valve right on the back of the slave cyl. It's 10mm I believe.

    Stick a vaccuum line on it and into some brake fluid, loosen the valve, depress clutch to floor, tighten line, let off clutch, loosen, press again, etc.

      That's the problem..... there is no bleeder of any kind on the 93-97 LT1 clutch hydraulics. A bleeder was added to the 98 and newer LS1 hydraulics, on the revised slave cylinder. But there is no bleeder on the LT1 hydraulics.
