I think you have the major steps covered other than as Hauss said - check the master for leaks. No need to flush IMO as you will probably do that in part as you bleed the system. The important thing is to be sure you position the bleeder port on the slave at the very top so that the air can bleed out of it.

If you really want to make bleeding easy try to find a speed bleeder of the same size as the bleeder on the slave. If you can manage that bleeding is as simple as hooking up a hose into a jar and pumping the pedal a dozen times or so. Otherwise someone topside slowly pushing and holding the clutch pedal while you crack open the bleeder is the surest way to get the air out. Sometimes those Mityvacs just pull air around the loose threads of the bleeder valve and it looks like your entire system is filled with air and will never get bleed out.
