Default using the stock clutch in my b16 swap?

ive got a b16 on its way from HMO...supposed to have around 30k miles on it, im planning on replacing the clutch...just not right now, how risky is it using the clutch coming with the swap?

im hopeing it will hold up for a few months 'cause im planning on getting a LSD, clutch, lightened flywheel and putting them all in at the same time.

EDIT: Also whats the chances of the axles that come with it NOT being busted up, i'd rather not spend the money on those right away too...i got rushed into this swap because i threw a rod through my block last thursday..and im already over budget on this just cause i wasnt finished saving.

both me and a couple buddies have using the stock clutches from our swaps, and there's yet to be an issue with either of them, their both grabby and they both hold nicely... you'll likely get a clutch good enough for one season anyways. It's all luck of the draw man, but so far i haven't seen a toasted clutch come in a swap over here.
My axles were fine.... my buddy ordered some beefier ones from streetimports.com, but from what he tells me the ones that came with the motor were good
