well, if you're buying a stock one, just go a little farther and get a good clutch.
eh, go ahead and get the flywheel too. The credit card lets you do it, and it's worth it to do it now as opposed to going in there a second time to do it all over again. If I may offer a simple suggestion. You might want to change your rear main seal, since you'll be there anyways. I know the car has been driven all the time, so the seal should be good and lubricated with no chance to decompose, but if you're in there, some preventative maintenance is never a bad thing. Not sure how complex any of these tasks are, since I imagine you have an engine mounted perpendicular to the plane of the car and all the tranny work I've done has been in cars with parallel drivetrains. Just some food for though. Do the clutch and flywheel while you are down there though.
