Default Clutch install help........

Ok, just installed my new Act clutch and flywheel. I replaced the Master and Slave cylinder and bled with all new Motul fluid. My question is, do I still have air in the system? The pedal only returns to little over half way. When I press the clutch in feels good. but my pedal does not come all the way back to its original position, or do I have to adjust the height of the pedal? The manual says it needs to be in between 6.73-7.05 in, I am about at 5 in. Thanks again.

2003, 105,000 miles on car. I figured just changed everything out. Kept bleeding it and the pedal has returned all the way up. I manual bled it and used Motive power bleeding like your post. In the future I would like to change out the clutch reservoir. I'll going to drive it around now carefully for awhile. Thanks again guys.
