I installed the Z1 stainless clutch line (and drove it once) before swapping the whole clutch and I actually managed to get a pretty good clutch feel. I used the FSM procedure, but I believe I left the nipple open and hand pumped the clutch slowly while keeping the clutch reservoir filled until I was sure all new fluid was in the system. Then I closed the nipple, pumped the clutch a bunch until some pressure built and then cracked and closed the nipple while keeping the clutch depressed. If there is pressure in the system the fluid should shoot out the nipple. I repeated this process maybe 5 times, and then kept pumping the clutch. By the time I drove the car it felt really firm.

Hope this helps.
