Has the flywheel been resurfaced? If so, you may need to replace it. Check the total thickness of the flywheel when it is removed (measured from the crank mounting surface to the discs friction surface). Starting thickness is .810" and you should not remove more than .015" from this or it can affect clutch release. If you do need a new flywheel we offer them in steel and aluminun.
Our kits include the TOB, Pilot-bearing, disc, pressure-plate and alignment-tool. You should also consider a new slave-cylinder, which we also offer and may want to install a new master-cylinder too which we also have for most application. Let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to assist you. Thanks!

To be honest, with that many miles you just replace everything. Its a good way to ensure there are NO weak links.
Clutch: Pick your Poison (IMO I am a HUGE fan of Textraila Clutches but again, pick what you want) Just make sure its a complete KIT. Install alignment tool as well.
Master Cyl: Get a Tick Performance Adj. Master. Gravity Bleed with a helper
Flywheel: Use whats in the kit, IMO steel is fine.
Slave Cyl: 2002 Stock GM is fine
Pilot Bearing: Again go with Stock
Fluid: I use basic Synthetic DOT 3/4 fluid. Regular changes.
The new Slave and Master are in general will get you 90-95% of the way there.
