Weird clutch issue on 1998 Boxster

Hey guys, new here and trying to help my father-in-law with an issue on his 1998 Porsche Boxster (Not S). After going a long while being neglected for maintenance, he replaced at 120k miles the IMS bearing and while he was at it replaced the clutch plate, flywheel, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, clutch slave cylinder, and clutch master cylinder. Everything fires back up fine and the car is drive-able, however the clutch pedal seems EXTREMELY light and soft and even with the clutch fully disengaged you can smell clutch burning and can feel "chattering".

At first glance to me it sounded like an improperly bled clutch system, but would this cause the clutch to barely make contact even without touching the clutch pedal, leading to the burning smell and odd drive feeling? He's pretty confident that the system is bled, but I'm not as sure.

Sorry ahead of time if this is something very obvious.

Thanks,
Kenny
