fluid, pilot bearing, and throw out bearing. Also baby the clutch for a couple thousand miles.
You are buying a performance clutch, flywheel, and exhaust?

i have open exhaust after the motor right now, it rusted off and all i did was take the stuff behind it off. i plan to have it piped out the passenger side infront of the rear tire.(bad idea?) but if i can find a header that fits thats used or something then i will be putting a header on it too. does the clutch kit that the link goes to include the pilot bearing? it looks like a bearing is included but i dont know which one it is.

it should include the bearings but not all do...So Im not going to say either way. My spec came with a throwout and a bearing which is unidentifiable. Pilot bearings are like 15 bucks. Throwouts are like 35
pilots are tiny, thin wall, long bearings. They are pressed in and are a real bitch to get out. Make sure they are greased well.
Throwouts are generally pretty noisy when you first install them but they set in so to say after a while....I wouldn't grease these...
I think I am getting a centerforce for my next clutch
