Default clutch disc installation

im about to install my clutch disc and pp. i was curious which side of the disc do i install towards the flywheel?

does the side thats raised up (the hub i guess?) go towards the flywheel? or does the flat side goes toward the flywheel?

oh, and the vehicle is a 1996 camaro (LT1)

if we are talking about a LT1 "pull" clutch.....the "raised" side of the disc goes towards FW.

Don't think you can even bolt it up the other way....without trying very hard :-)
