How much movement should there be in the throwout bearing?

I have just matted my new M-21 to my freshly rebuilt Pontiac 400, and am wondering how much the throwout bearing should move before it engages the pressure plate. When I had the transmission by itself and was putting the throwout bearing on the input shaft, it felt like it had the same amount of play as it does now that it is matted to the transmission.

Can someone please help me out? I dont want to put it in the car until iam certain it is correct.
