Got my friend to help me out.. bled it and there are no leaks from under the engine, you get some pressure back into the clutch pedal, but not enough pressure for the pedal to kick back like how it's supposed to be.. I yanked out the slave cylinder and had someone push on the pedal, and the piston does move, but not strong enough. Possible that the slave cylinder is no good (ie. leaky, air leak, something.. ) and if so, replacement or rebuild kit for it, are they available? More likely a special order part?
There is no leak on the clutch dampener area either, my main focus on it is that there is little or no pressure in the clutch system. I hope it has nothing to do with any extensive damage like the release fork or anything else with the tranny.
I realize that once the car is in gear from a complete startup, it will automatically move as in it's engaged, my question is, am I supposed to be able to get a lot of movement on the release fork or should it be somewhat stiff? With the slave cylinder gone, you can jiggle the fork a tad and I wondered if that's normal.
Thanks again guys!

id recommend at least buying the chiltons or haynes manual, make your life alot easier.
are you able to detect any leaks from under the engine/tranny while bleeding
if the reservoir is empty then of course you will have no pressure, there has to be fluid at all times while pumping and bleeding...
otherwise you will suck air into the line
