I suspect that you've got some failure in the hydraulics. In my experience in a 123 car and a 201 car with manual transmissions, the clutch hydraulics would self bleed once all the leaks were fixed. I never had to pressure bleed. I would simply hook up all the components, fill with brake fluid, pump the pedal a few times manually to get some of the air out, and then start the car in first gear (pointed in a safe direction) and drive around the block a couple times. The vibrations from driving, while working the pedal down and back with my foot and toes, would cause all the air to move up and out.
