Default Clutch squeal???

So here's the deal.
05mn6 c6, just installed different engine/clutch/trans/ rear diff. All of which came right out of my 99 c5 which had no problems with the clutch. And I never took the clutch off the flywheel between swaps.
So what's happening is while the car is off and clutch fully engaged as i start the car it's squealing like a belt would. Once car is started and release clutch it's quiet. While runnig in nuetral or any gear. Hold clutch all the way to the floor it Squeals. While driving in any gear, hold the clutch in and accelerate it acts like the clutch is wanting to grab. Not sure where I went wrong. I'm using stock torque tube. Stock slave cylinder, dot5 fluid, stock throw out bearing.
I have a remote speed bleader so Iv bleed it several times.

So any ideas?

My guess is going to be the pilot bearing. How many miles on the drive train?

Pilot bearing was one of the issues. I suppose this is a newbie mistake but the engine came out of my 99. Which have different pilot bearings than the 05, who knew... Smh. So the clutch disc was just shuttering around inside the pressure plate. The main squeal was apparently one of the slave cylinder bolts came lose so the slave was rubbing the input shaft.

Learning the hardway.
