If its biting at the top of the travel then I dont think bleeding will help but its easy to do so eliminate it.
I found the most reliable way of bleeding the clutch was to modify an old easi-bleed so it pushes fluid in through the bleed nipple, just lower the header level first using a syringe etc.
The reason for this is the long vertical section of pipe and flexi-pipe from clutch slave to top of bulkhead, if you get air in there its a bugger to shift.

I don't have much experience with manual Omegas, but I had an Alfa Romeo with hydraulic clutch for 5 years, and yes the pedal is high and feels odd compared to a mechanical cable-driven clutch... you know it's on its way out when it starts slipping, but pedal issues are usually due to the hydraulics.
