Brake job done...is it necessary to bleed clutch slave?
I did the calipers and installed stainless lines. Bled the brakes.Would the resevoir fluid have gone so low as to let air into the clutch line or should it be good to go?
It's not a bad idea to bleed it, but shouldn't be necessary. Even though you got below the intake level as long as you didn't use the clutch it should have filled back up. Plus clutches are kind of self bleeding if you wait overnight, the system pretty much allows the air to rise up to the reservoir.

Extra 2 cents: When I used the self bleeder pump, bottle deal, it worked great with all the brakes. For some reason, it didn't just opening the clutch fitting.
Eventually did that the old pedal pump way to work fine. The pedals are supposed to work pretty close to their top positions. Once you get them firm the levers under the dash are mechanically adjustable to that end.
