You can use the flywheel and clutch but the slave cylinder assembly will not work.

No, you'd need to source an internal slave set up that rides on the factory bearing retainer. I think Tick Performance has some stuff available.

Thats the setup that was recommended to me by a friend to run with my TKX behind LS swap in my track car. He's running it with an LS style clutch, said it works just fine. I havent built my car yet, still collecting parts.
