This sounds like a GREAT idea, at least on first thought.  The "PROs" are
obvious.  What are some "CONs" if any?

Here is an idea, maybe someone has already done this.  Why not make a remote
bleed location?  Have a line run from the clutch up somewhere on the
firewall where you mate it to a fitting and put the bleed nipple on the
fitting?  For those of us not concerned with 100% originality it should work
great.  Than you can bleed your clutch from the firewall by just lifting the
bonnet.  Since you are traveling basically straight up you should not have
any problems with air being trapped.  Anyones thoughts on this?
