Gerry,
Your throwout bearing looks very similar to the Ford Truck bearing Keisler uses. The picture only shows one line. How do you bleed that puppy? What did you do to the bell housing to
allow you to install the transmission with the T/O bearing and line in place? I have had problems getting mine back together.

The throwout is factory GM The only change made was the routing of the line.
The factory routing has it coming out a little higher than my position through a opening between the housing and trans.
The reason I routed the line the way I did is twofold
One, the closeness of the tunnel would make connecting-disconnecting a pain.
Two , this is the exact same place I had the fitting on the last trans . so I didn't have to change anything.
One might reason having the line go down and back up could cause a bubble to get trapped but my thinking is the volume of the line from top of slave to low point is less than the amount of fluid displaced during a full clutch applications.
So if there was a bubble in the slave, clutch action should get it to the part of the line that is up hill to the master so it could migrate up toward the master .
Now, bleeding with one line,,,,
VACUUM BLEEDING IS YOUR FRIEND
Short history.
When I did my T56 in 2007, I used a Weir throw out.
All the photos and articles showed a "normal" two line deal.
When I got the throw out it only had a single line, WTF??
A conversation with Bob left me sceptical
"trust me, just vacuum bleed, you'll be fine"
I took him at his word
Put the whole deal together , filled the reservoir about 1/3 full, put a vacuum pump on the cap .
Two pulls, releases, perfect pedal .
Never bled the clutch again for the 3 years .
Fast forward to this set up
I have done a quick vacuum pull and the pedal is right there.
I am planning on a master bore size change because the Weir required a large 1" master and it "may" over stroke the production GM slave.
Try the vacuum bleed, I think you will be amazed.
While I do not think it is suitable for brake systems, for clutch and cooling systems I think it is awesome.
