Default stuck clutch

My 68 small block 4 speed has been setting for several years. Anyone know of a way to free the clotch without pulling the transmission? Thanks.

Have someone push the clutch in than rock the car back and forth,safest way to get it to come loose.

What I have done on a farm tractor in that situation is hold the clutch in and in your case get under the car with a hammer and remove the bottom cover and tap on the flywheel with the hammer. The vibration should break it loose.
