I think the hydro clutch will help, but a good clutch as I mentioned above that will clamp without excessive pressure to disengage will help as well\, the Borg and Beck style is just three fingers as opposed to a diaphram type with 20-30 littler fingers. The diaphram type clutch is easier to disengage as far as pressure needed on the peddle and the hydro set up will lessen it even more. I have a hydro clutch in my 90 truck with an NV3500 trans and the travel is fairly short and light compared to the manual clutch in my Blazer or the Camaro. TP from PA, I'd swap a diaphram pressure plate and clutch first, and see if that alone is more manageble, if it is better but not good enough, then look to swap in a bellhousing that'll except a hydro clutch. Good luck!
