any good parts supplier can get you a clutch kit. you will also need to resurface the flywheel. you will need some blue loctite for the flywheel bolts plus the proper torque to tighten them to. as for the bearing, you can probably also get that from the parts supplier, you may need to look for a guy who has been around the block, so they know how to use a parts BOOK, not just the computer.
pick up some trans oil as well, drain it overnight so you get as much crud dripped out as possible before you pull it apart
the bellhousing may need to be removed to get the flywheel out, that means supporting the engine because the bellhousing has the rear mounts for the engine. can't remember if it is required to be removed or not.
