Back on topic ...

I got the clutch out finally, and it looks surprisingly good. Actually, the most noticeable difference between my new disk and original is how shiney the surfaces are. My original disk is very glassy on both sides of the disk (glazed?). The thickness is not too far off from the new one. The flywheel and PP are also very glassy. There aren't any grooves at all, so I guess sand paper will be the best bet.

dude, please take your flywheel to a machine shop. for me, please. LOL sand paper will not cut it. does it look like cheetah hide? any blue and purple spots? doesnt matter. have it correctly done with a rock wheel.

I just scuffed it heavily with 100 grit sand paper in all directions. There is still some coloration if you look at it with the light at just the right angle, but I think it will be fine after break-in. The Helm's manual recommends NOT resurfacing it anyway. The OEM FW also looks like it couldn't be step cut unless those alignment pins can come out.

I just got the tranny mounted back up to the engine, but it took a lot of pushing, twising, and wiggling. That last 1/4 inch was the most difficult. I hope I didn't break anything...

I finished!

I went with another OEM setup, and it feels just like it did when it was new. Thanks for everyone's help.
