I would definitely turn the clutch line in the direction the the manual states.

To bleed it, you would attach a hose to it and just be cracking the valve open and closed during the process and probably never touch it again.
Was more concerned with the clearance in two ways:
1. Clearance with the supercharger unit
2. Cleararance for a wrench to loosen the bleeder when the supercharger is installed

2 doesn't matter if you can't bleed the clutch with the SC installed.

Finally talked to Tony tonight, he wasn't sure about clearance for #1, but recommended going by the book. For #2 he wasn't sure, but thought you could still access it with the SC installed. Anyone have a pic of the clearance of the SC and bleeder valve?
