I used that spring on the slave to hold the fork in place when I installed it and removed it later.

The spring on the top of the clutch pedal can be removed or left in place. Some people have found the spring will not allow the clutch to disengage during high RPM speed shifting. I removed mine. Easiest way is to have someone push the pedal in and then you slide washers in between the spaces on the spring. Release the pedal and the spring stays extended and will slide out easily.

My original clutch was a 10 inch, 3 finger type pressure plate. I changed the flywheel (still 28 oz -157 tooth) so I could use a 10 1/2 inch modern style diaphragm pressure plate. The flywheel was changed because the bolt pattern for the 10 and the 10 1/2 pressure plates are different. The 10 1/2 inch needs some preload on the throw out bearing to make it engage the clutch completely.

Take your time on bleeding it also to remove all the air in the line.
