It doesn't go to the bellhousing. It pivots off of the side of the engine.

I ordered everything I needed to restore my clutch linkage from Classic Parts. Most all of it was genuine GM stuff when it arrived. Not much money at all.

You need one of these because yours is very worn:

One of these to screw into the engine block:

One of these springs:

One of these for the end of the rod where it fits into the clutch fork:

Since your little pivot block on the pushrod is so worn, your holes in the Z bar are likely worn too. Either weld them shut and redrill new holes or fess up the 40 bucks for a new Z bar:

Done deal !
