Hi Robin,
good to hear that you are nearly ready to start your engines!
I have mounted the coil up front near the radiator. Not ideal, maybe, but didn't like it near the exhaust and not to low down to pck up muck and rain?
You can see it here but it's not a very good shot.

I had the same thought about the clutch slave cylinder but I think i've seen a sectional drawing showing that the bleed passage actaully goes to the top inside the casting. (Bently manual?) so the bleed nipple at the bottom is correct.
cheers,
Peter
