Clutch Failure?
The report is that before the transmission was removed the MC and the Slave had both been replaced, the system had been bled. The release fork was sound and correctly installed. But, the pedal continued to move to the floor with zero resistance. Do the old pressure plate splines have any resistance when you press them? When you pressed on the clutch pedal did the slave push on the fork and move it forward? Seems like a real mystery to me.
Please report back if you ever do figure out what is going on.
Good luck with it.

My dad was under the car inspecting the slave when I pressed the pedal, I'm uncertain about this, however, he said the slave didn't sound as though it was engaging, hence why we replaced the slave. I'm going to rebuild the old slave cylinder while I'm in the middle of this project and see if that helps any. I will absolutely keep everyone posted on the outcome of this project. May be replacing the clutch for no reason, but hey, at least I'll have the AP1 fly installed and a new clutch, so it can't all be bad. So far this is still a mystery to me.
Yeah, no fluid there. I'm going to check out the old slave cylinder tonight to see if it's bad or I unnecessarily replaced it.
I recall seeing this problem with my sisters Integra many years ago. It was kind of intermittent like you say and I believe the problem was with the pressure plate. If your MC and SC are working properly then the only thing left keeping things engaged is the pressure plate. Check that the pressure plate has plenty of resistance and that it is not missing any teeth.

The pressure plate looks good, no missing teeth and isn't warped at all. I ordered a new one to install because if I put everything back together and still have the same issue I don't want to be sitting here wondering if it's the damn pressure plate. All parts should be here Saturday and am planning on putting everything back together this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted!
**UPDATE**
So I got the new clutch installed and it was still doing the same thing, we bled the system and I adjusted the play in the clutch master, the thing feels better than new. Still haven't gotten it off of the jack stands. Went to finish putting everything back together and when I was remounting the propeller shaft to the transmission the drive shaft doesn't turn freely.. LOL! The car isn't in gear and the e-brake is off. I thought Mabey the rear breaks were engaged somehow so I removed the caliper and it still won't turn. So it looks like my next project is to take apart the diff... Keep everyone posted.. the saga continues...
