It is always good practice to resurface the flywheel when you replace the clutch.

If you pull the rear end back and remove the transmission, you should remove the front seat to keep it from getting grease on it.

I vote for pulling the engine on your 40. You should remove the hood and radiator, I like to remove the intake and starter to give more room to work.

Be sure to relieve the tension on the pressure plate by placing wedges between the arms and the cover. This will prevent warping the cover and reduce the chance of chatter.

Cover your cowl and fenders with movers blankets to protect the paint.

Right on the money Tom!! I'm going to keep doing it just the way you said for the very same reasons you gave.
