Thanks, samurai_k. Although I like your suggestion for using the grounding lug location, I'm somewhat concerned about a location that's not mounted on the drivetrain due to the possibility of vibration. Perhaps, my concern is unfounded.

Other option you could bolt it right on the blower heater? The speed bleeder bracket makes it easy to bolt/screw it on anywhere you can find a place to secure it.

To bleed the clutch I would do the following.
1. Open the valve (with catch bottle)
2. Push the clutch pedal to the floor
3. Connect the bleeder and bleed the clutch until no bubbles
Once you close the bleed valve use your hand to pull the clutch pedal back up. It may not stay so start pumping the clutch pedal to the floor and back to the top with your hand. Eventually it will stay up and you are good to go!

This solution did it for me! Just needed the encouragement to keep bleeding. Thanks Samurai_k.
Installed new slave, slave hose and remote bleeder part of “"while you’'re in there"” project.
After going through a full liter of ATE, I decided to confirm the plunger was in clutch fork. Yup....installed correctly. I was pretty careful and double checked before putting engine and trans back up. Pretty easy to get a
phone up there for a pic.
So, I opened up another can of ATE and kept going, getting a few more burps of air. Voila.....I have a beautifully smooth clutch pedal. When in doubt, double check everything and “"stay calm....keep bleeding”.

Too late for that. The clutch pedal goes to the floor no matter what I do. If I don't pull it up it just stays there.
Also I thought the circuit from the reservoir to the slave was common only when the pedal is up! So with the pedal down the circuit between the master and slave is isolated, that way pushing the pedal down pressurizes the circuit making the slave extend, thus engaging the clutch. If I attach a pressure bleeder to the top of the reservoir and have the pedal down wouldn't I be just pressurizing the circuit from the reservoir to the master and not from the master to slave?

I've flushed my brakes/clutch fluid using a Power Bleeder, being very careful to refill brake reservoir when down to half. Brakes are good - clutch pedal goes to the floor.
