It is indeed comprehensive, but with over 160,000 miles on the car and an unknown history prior to about 140,000 miles I have no shame in replacing more of the clutch mechanism than needed. I'll be doing the clutch slave cylinder and fluid hose and a couple other items while I have the car apart. My 'optional' list runs from new engine mounts up to a total rebuild depending on whether I can figure out how to put the latter on my 1040 Schedule A.
It sounds like the 993 RS pressure plate must work the same with a DMF as with a SMF. I know that the 1989 Carrera 4 was different from the later version but I don't know the exact differences. it certainly could be as you suggested. I have a 1990 so, barring any surprises when I separate the engine and transmission, I ought to have the DMF setup.
How much of the exhaust should be left on? It seems to me that removing the secondary muffler and catalytic converter should provide clearance for the engine to drop, leaving the primary muffler (or in my case the bypass) in the car unless it and the bumper need to come out for clearance.

I'd add the clutch master cylinder too.
Also take a long hard look at the clutch release arm, the bushings tend to go at awkward times and will do a lot of damage when they fail. I replaced mine w/ a 997 GT3Cup part, 997.116.086.90
You can't use the 993RS dual mass parts w/ single mass parts, they are incompatible. You have to go all one or the other. It's possible that they just mislabeled it as RS when it should be RS/CS or Cup, most of these parts have been superseded w/ 997GT3RS parts anyway
