Default LS3 Clutch Fluid Bleeding Help

Can someone please help me with the LS3 Manual Transmission Clutch bleeding process? I can't seem to find the bleeding valve for the clutch fluid. I purchased the bleeding valve extension and wanted to install it so I removed the driver side header and from what I see the bleeder is not in the same location as the LS2. Someone please help ASAP

Thank you.

Of course bleeding the clutch on a C6 is a tremendous amount of work since the bleed screw cannot be easily accessed. If I remember correctly, the entire rear-end / tranny and torque tube must be lowered to access the bleed screw. It's a serious headache.
