As far as replacing the clutch goes, do it yourself if you feel you have the mechanical skills. Your investment in books and tools will be offset by the savings in paid labor to have someone else do it. That is not to say that there will be some things you need to farm out to a machine shop to have done.
When I purchased the machine I now have, a 1978 911 SC Targa, I realized it was a different breed of machine. My first approach was to buy lots of books to learn about the mechanics of the car, read them and learn as much as I could from them. It seems like you never have enough books on hand to use for reference.
Once I felt I had a thorough understanding of what needed to be done, the next step was to do it.
When I removed the engine on my porsche, knowing well that if it fell it could get expensive, I invested in three floor jacks, two jack stands and a furniture dolly to set the engine on once it was removed.
Like anything else, you need to proceed slowly and all should go well. But, most of all, understand what you are supposed to do, be safe and don't hesitate to ask questions. There is always someone on this board who is willing to help and provide the answer, regardless of how simple a question it seems.
If you think you are up to the challange, go forward and proceed. Take lots of pics or videos as you move along and go slow. Good luck
