you could find 411 on doing search in this forum or internet.....or go buy a Haynes service book for your specific car.
pilot bearing is something you want to replace also. Use the corrrect puller to remove it. get the FW resurfaced or replaced. You should also bleed your hydraulics so you have fresh brake fluid in them
Lots of steps to do in replacing clutch but not hard if you are mechanically inclined and have tools

What clutch should i go with since the car is almost stock is http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...-1-clutch-kit/ a good choice??
Not sure of your future plans for power, but our Level 1 basic package is a great bang for the buck clutch and comes with pilot bearing, release bearing, dowel pins and alignment tool as well as a 28lb billet steel flywheel which would save you resurfacing/shimming cost. Don't hesitate if you have any questions, Chris 817-750-2000

Yes, it is the same size as an LS7 vs your 10.5" factory clutch...if you read the description of the Level 1 it is intended to be an upgrade over a factory replacement, while still retaining stock driveability.
