Note on the pressure plate: The 993 Euro RS part number is the same as Pelican sends with the 964 Carrera Cup kit. So that seems like a very reasonable choice.

So here's the question: When I drop the engine, is there any reason to (or not to) remove the heat exchangers first? I'll be working on jack stands and I have an ATV jack to lower the engine. I've removed the heat exchangers a couple times before, so I know it's not hard to do. The question is if it gains (or loses) anything in the engine removal process.
This the kit you are looking at? Its seems very comprehensive

the 993RS used the same dual mass flywheel and clutch as the regular 993s

The 993RS/CS and 993 Cup used the 964RS/Cup single mass flywheel and spring centered clutch that you want to use, My memory is fading but I seem to recall that early 964C4 also used this setup but I could be misremembering.

The exhaust is usually left on for most drops
