I've done several engine drops with 915 transmissions but this would be my very first G-50. The last engine drop I did was an '85 Carrera with 915 the other summer. The car is an '87 Carrera with 119K miles on it and drives good except for the stiff/hard clutch pedal. The car is scheduled next month for a cross country drive. It would be driven from Philadelphia to Carmel, CA for delivery to my son's residence.

For peace of mind and driving some 3000 miles of hi-way driving, it would be nice to know the condition of the clutch before departing for this journey. What are the things I should be aware during the engine drop?
----transmission linkage is different.
----transmission mount is also different.
----hydraulic line for the clutch, when do I break the line during engine drop process?
----electrical, fuel lines, etc.

Is there a certain method to check the thickness or condition of the clutch with the engine/trans mounted in the car? BTW, I'm doing it solo but help availability during weekdays is not that good. Please share your thoughts and experience dropping a G-50. Any tips, suggestions, or reminder are highly appreciated. Thanks.
