The bleed screw is on the slave cyl and almost impossible to bleed while the car is together. The turkey baster method is to replace the fluid not necesarily bleed air out of the system. I don't know what you are trying to do but if you take it apart, install a $40 bleeder.

The bleed screw is accessible through a hole on top of the bell-housing. It is not impossible to get to, but it is difficult.
If you can manage to reach the bleeder, than you can also manage to install a remote bleeder, which is a much better use of your time. All subsequent clutch bleeds will be a snap.

This procedure is actually in the shop manual.

There is another method for getting air out of the system, by vaccum bleeding. Basically you use the Motive cap or something similar, but instead of putting in fluid under pressure you pull a vaccum and (in theory, at least) the air bubbles come to the top.
This procedure is actually in the shop manual.

And most causes of air in the system involve a recent or upcoming trip to the clutch slave, anyway.
I'd suggest to anybody contemplating a clutch job to install a remote bleeder while he's at it. It makes subsequent bleeds (for any purpose) ten times easier.
