I did a clutch replacement last year on the avatar pickup. The trans can be removed from the floor access. The rear end and drive shaft has to be move back about 6" so you have enough room to pull the trans back and out. Disconnect the brake line, e brake cable and speedo cable. Unbolt the spring at the cross member and disconnect the shocks. Jack it up high enough for the spring to clear the gas tank while supporting the frame with stands. Support the rear of the engine with a jack so you can take the weight of the rear trans biscuits. Remove those and the clutch linkage. its also easier to remove the shifter tower. Unbolt the trans from the bellhousing and lift it though the floor. I was lucky enough to not need the flywheel resurfaced. i was able to clean the surface of the flywheel with a vibrating sander. If the flywheel needs to come off you will need to somehow hang the hang the back of the engine. I have had the pan off mine without needing to pull the engine.
