Engine. The clutch bolts to it, not the tranny.

True, but different trans have different splines. All 94+ have the same splines (B-series).

But if he has a 91 LS trans and uses a 94 b-series clutch, it will not work. Different splines.

Any D series tranny will bolt to any D series motor. If the clutch fits the tranny it will fit the motor so the answer to your question is:

The tranny. Match the clutch to the tranny.

Keep in mind 88 trannies use 21 spline shafts and 88-89 have a smaller clutch disk and flywheel so these will have to match also.
