So Dave, is this a case of the 'might as well's'? As in, 'Well, since the
engine and trans are out, I might as well remove the body from the chassis
and paint it, and might as well redo the chassis and all mechanical
components while I'm at it'... ;-)

   Seems a good idea to test the clutch, though I have never done it.
   Thoughts-garage door open, aim the car toward the open door, put the gear=
box into gear, and without ignition, and coil wire disconnected, pull the st=
arter.  If the car chirps tires and moves, you know clutch is engaging to so=
me degree.
   Then rig a rope&pulley or long lever (in place of hydraulics) to move the=
 clutch lever toward disengagement. Pull the starter again. If the car does n=
ot move, you have disengaged the clutch.
  There must be better ways....

AKA shipwright's disease.

On a side note, the wire connecting Team Net to the world is no longer 
imminent danger of getting snapped by falling tree branches.  It is 
pretty well stretched out, though, have a call in to Comcast to have a 
tech come out and check the connections at the end.  Someday soon, I hope.
