If you are replacing the clutch don't forget to install a remote clutch bleeder. You can get them the LAPD. They may still be on sale.

Clutch, slave, master, flywheel bolts, pilot bearing, remote bleeder. Change them all at the same time and you'll save yourself a LOT of aggravation in the future.

That's the best advice, because elsewise you'll have to drop the entire drive line again.
