Process for bleeding stock GM T-56 Clutch slave?

I get unbolting the slave from the housing and holding it at a 45* angle. Does the reservoir cap need to be off or leave it on?

I'm also seeing stuff about using zip ties on the clutch pedal to hold it up or pulling the MC pin to the pedal clip so there is no resistance in the system when bleeding the slave anyone doing that?

Just guessing but I assume that I can't just do this the easy way and ramp the front end. I assume I need to drag out the jack and stands to make the car level for this?

Never heard of that and have never needed to do it.
