Car is still in the air. When I depress the pedal, it still wants to go to the floor and note return. Pelican instructions say to put back on the ground to test pedal actuation. I want some input from the crew here to tell me this is normal before I do so, because I still have to assemble the new exhaust and a few other under-body items.
Any input? Thanks guys

No. This is not normal.
After the bleeding process, you should help the pedal go up to position, but after that it should work normal.
Try pumping it few times befor you bleed again.
Also, there is no difference if the car is on the floor or on jack stand from the clutch point of view. The palican instructions comes from safety point of view.
