do0d! Defintitely try to pick up a clutch and new throwout bearing. I got a PT Cruiser clutch from Bob Kise and then snagged a bearing from the local Satan for about $41 incl tax.

If you've got it out, you might look into getting a rebuild kit from Motofool. I would assume you don't want to pull it again for a while, right? :P

New headgasket? port&polish your TB & mani?

^^That's my suggestion too. Grab a can of degreaser, a few rags, and some new wire looming and have a blast while you have room to work in there!
