Top bleeding the system is pretty easy and you can do it alone.

You'll need a Rubber stopper to fit the reservoir opening. A #10 stopper works on the Willwood master cylinder.
Preferably use EPDM rubber as it is compatible with brake fluid but any will do since it is a momentary contact issue.
Using a brake bleeder hand vac pump connect to the stopper you placed in the reservoir neck with a short piece of hose.
Pull a vacuum with the pump and maintain it for 1 minute (max vac you can achieve).
Release the vacuum and pump the clutch pedal full travel 4-5 strokes.
Repeat the vacuum/pumping cycle 5-6 times on a empty system will typically bleed it fully.
