I measured the flywheel, its a 6-bolt pattern, and a 13.5" diameter from edge to edge (not including the flywheel teeth). I'm sure I could go to NAPA with the flywheel and find one, but I just thought I'd ask for some tips/recommendations!

I would recommend getting a diaphragm style pressure plate. Make sure you get the correct throw out bearing. You should get all the clutch linkage put together before you install transmission.

Like Don says, make sure the TO brg. matches the pressure plate.
