Default Air in Clutch lines?

i did the slave mod today and during the bleeding process i opened the valve about 5 times. is that enough or should i have done more repetitions? the pedal is lower which ive heard others say after removing the delay valve, but its also softer. is that air? when i hold the clutch all the way down and rev it to 6500 the car does not try to move but the engagement is very low like 1/2 cm movement you'll start moving.

adjust the pushrod on the clutch pedal to change the engagement point

The engagement point should not change when removing the delay valve. If it does, There's air in the system plain and simple.

You will likely never get all the air out bleeding the cyl in place on the car.

Unbolt it and orient the cyl so the bleeder is on top. In the right position, gravity will instantly purge the last of the air when you open the bleeder.
