Rockauto is a good place to start for parts. Your truck would either have a 9 1/8 or 10” clutch.

To get everything out, you’ll have to pull the trans first, by removing the 4 bellhousing bolts. Of course, you’ll need to unhook the driveshaft and on the 3600, unbolt the carrier bearing. Your throwout bearing will probably fallout, so having a buddy helping you so it doesn’t shatter on the floor is recommended.

The bellhousing doesn’t need to come off. In fact, you can’t even get to all the bolts with the flywheel on.

The pressure plate comes off, then the flywheel, this is done under the truck. Kind of a PIA.

As far as the transmission, some snap ring pliers and a bearing puller are all that’s needed for the front bearing.
