Garrett,
Check the throw-out bearing by cleaning it up and rotating it with finger pressure. Should be smooth with no bumps! Saying that I'd still opt for a new bearing, better to be safe.
What do you mean by "

Think you'd be better off with new pressure and clutch plates. Think there should be interchanges from commonly available parts. Someone more experienced(Ross?) may be able to advise.
Before you take the flywheel off make sure you mark it and the crank so it goes back on the same way it came off. Otherwise if put back on in a different position it will affect the balance of the rotating assembly of the engine!
