flywheel turned, have questions.

flywheel turned, have questions.
I am installing a ls1 and t56 in my '55 with a new LS6 clutch, pressure plate, and new slave. I took my flywheel to the shop and they turned it .025. I've read the exploding clutch thread but I'm not too worried about the flywheel since this is going to be mainly a street car with only a few strip passes on test and tune nights.
Here are my questions:
1) Will I need to add a shim or spacer to make up for the .025? If so, where can I buy one.
2) This is probably a dumb question, but do I need to re-attach the bar code lable that shop scrapped off? The mechanic scrapped it off and marked the location and said there may be a sensor and it may be required.
3) Should I reuse my flywheel to crank bolts or buy new ones?
4) Lastly, am I crazy to run the turned flywheel?
Thanks,
steve

I don't think you are crazy to run it. Go ahead. If you add a .025 shim you will be pretty safe, but you might be OK without it too. Where to get a shim? Check with one of the clutch vendors like spec.
You should re-use your bolts.
What bar code are you talking about?
