Hope you have ordered heavy duty clutch plate to put back in lol
Dosn't look too bad, not over burnt. Good luck in getting it back together and running. It just takes time, well about 4 hours to swap my one out.
Are you putting if a higher performance one? they do feel a bit different but you get use to the biting point, i.e. on/off switch.

Some photos of when I swapped mine over:- Clutch Swap from TransAmDan's albums
looks very similar underneath.

Looks like we both had fun knackering are clutches, i had to remove supercharger so engine would tilt down to remove gearbox,
Was that a simple enough job to take the supercharger off?

Good job we had to remove charger to help with removal of gearbox as engine needed to be tilted back but this showed black soot marks around inlet manifold on supercharger to engine block so fitted new gaskets

I should be up for it, I may be sorting my clutch thrust bearing in a week or so to get rid of that horrible noise. I will keep a look out for the dates too.
