reuse clutch. replace pilot and throw out?
I am replacing my flywheel, starter, and putting a tach drive hei in my car. I have already pulled the trans and am wanting to reuse the clutch since it's only got about 20k miles on it and was working fine. I plan on putting a t56 in next year or year after so I didn't wanna spend $500 on a clutch that will only see a little use. Should I still replace the throw out and pilot bearings? I have always been told every time you see em change em but normally I only see em changing a clutch or a transmission.

I am beginning to see the wisdom in that line of thinking. At one time I would replace any wearable part I had off the car. Not so much any more. The quality of the parts available through the aftermarket, not to mention the quality control is appalling. Nowadays if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
