When I had to bleed my '98, I had to remove the line on the slave cylinder itself. It is held on by a pin which rests in a collar on the slave cylinder. You'll need to drive that pin out, then let the fluid drain until you don't see any more bubbles coming out of the line. I also had to unbolt my slave cylinder and manually push the cylinder rod in while hooking the line back up. This will ensure that when you release the cylinder rod, it will draw new fluid into the slave cylinder. I also cycled that cylinder rod several times once it was hooked back up to the line to make sure all the bubbles got out of the slave cylinder. Then bolted it back to the clutch. I would think your slave cylinder is much like mine.
