You don't/can't bleed the clutch on a cable tranny.

maybe if the cable frays and it pokes you, then you bleed.

General walk through of each system;
hydraulic system:
clutch pedal --> clutch master cylinder --> fluid --> slave cylinder --> clutch fork

cable system:
clutch pedal --> cable --> clutch fork


"bleeding" the system refers to removing the air from the hydraulic fluid used between the master and slave cylinders. In a cable clutch setup that link is done by a cable rather than hydraulic fluid.
