Since no one else seems so inclined to answer your query, I think I'll give it a go.
The stock flywheel is a more than satisfactory example which will give more than credible service if several things are noted before you reuse it.
1) It should be free and clear of any clutch material which may have been burned onto the surface by prior slippage. In addition
2) There should be no indications of small 'Blue tinted" spots anywhere on the friction surface of the flywheel.
This indicates localized 'hot spots' which are harder than the surrounding metal, and will cause uneven clutch engagement if not addressed. If present, the flywheel's surface will have to be reground. At which time it will be "good to Go".
An aftermarket flywheel (a light weight unit) has the advantage of allowing the engine to rev up faster; but it does this at the expense of shift quality (lesser flywheel effect) and idle quality (rougher idle). Compression braking will improve (lesser Flywheel effect). the question is; the price worth it? and How will I be using the car?
The clutch Master cylinder is mounted to the left of the Power Brake Booster and looks like this: (Number #7 (has a remote reservoir)

Why? Clutch pedal goes to the floor?
Hint: The Trial User moniker will drop once you've either initiated or answered a pre-determined number of threads.
In my case, when it became apparent I was a total pain in the a..s, and I wasn't going away; they threw up their hands.
Another Hint: Ditch the Caps Lock. It's the Internets equivalent of Shouting (Very Rude) Swearing will get you banned. I substitute something like %^$&* when I've got to use an expletive. Choose your method.
If I can gather some energy after chasing the wife around the house all day, I'll try to give some pointers on Clutch Master Cylinder change out procedures (unless someone else beats me to it).
