The 9.5 inch 26 spline clutch was also used in some V6 Camaro's.

There is roughly 12 lbs. difference in weight between an S10 pressure plate
and one for a Camaro (10.5"). After going to the trouble to put my flywheel
on a diet, I wasn't about to hang that heavy clutch on it. The local clutch
&
brake shop rebuilt me a 9 1/8 S10 pressure plate and cut a 9 3/8 Mecedes
clutch disk (26 spline) to fit. He also enlarged the pressure plate bolt
holes slighty. Total cost=$73.24 (including alignment tool, bolts & tax).
I've since discovered that a 94-98 S10 w/ 2.2L 4-banger uses a 9 1/8" clutch
with 26 splines. If it doesn't hold, order one from Centerforce.
