Are you positive you have the clutch disc installed correctly ? If backwards they don't release too good if at all.
You might try to loosen the hydraulic line to the slave cyl at the clutch master cyl and allow the air in the line to rise and come out.

That's weird. My 1983 Ranger 2.0 w/4 speed had a bleeder valve on the top of its slave cylinder that I used when I replaced the clutch and installed new fluid.
