If you want to completely flush the system, then yes typically the clutch will need to be bled in addition to the brakes. The lines go to a common bank, so if you don't spend the time you're not really going to notice the difference with some old fluid cycling around in there.

(This is basically the case when it comes down to flushing/cycling the ABS while bleeding).

I don't like vacuum bleeding because you can create a suction too much where you create air within the system.
