CLUTCH HELP

I took the Z bar out inspected every thing. I put it back in & it moves freely Hooked up the rod from the pedal to the Zbar. Every thing still moves good. Hooked up the adjusting rod & had someone push the pedal in & out a few time while im underneath once again it all moves good. Put it all back together & adjusted it. So i tried to start it with the pedal in & in gear once again the car moves as if the pedal isnt pushed in. So i did that a few times to where it moved about 20ft. Then i did it in revers. Then forward again. NO GO So i jacked it up crawled under neath it & couldnt find any thing wrong. So i decided to loosen the bolts that bolt the clutch to the flywheel. I no sooner got the last one loose & it started to rain & that ended my day. Boy i really dont want to take the trany out. What a pain in the ***. Ive put together 4spd cars before with no problems. Ive took 4spd cars & put automatic trans in with no problems. This is my first of taking a automatic car & putting in a 4spd. I am lost.
