I did my clutch a couple months ago and it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. You don't have to drop the motor or at least i didn't. took me about 6 or 7 hours (my first time doing it) to get it done. once it was on jack stands i used two floor jacks , one to support the engine and the other to support the tranny. disconnect the speedo,reverse sensor,water outlet,slave cylinder,shift cables and the three tranny mounts and IIRC that was about it then lower it till you have enough room to slide it out. make sure you have some one give you a hand when you put it back together to re-allign the tranny before getting the bolts back in , i tried on my own and thats what ate up so much extra time.

good luck , i think next time i could do it in half the time.

btw i just bought a clutch from a local parts store.
