Seems a good idea to test the clutch, though I have never done it.
Thoughts-garage door open, aim the car toward the open door, put the gear=
box into gear, and without ignition, and coil wire disconnected, pull the st=
arter. If the car chirps tires and moves, you know clutch is engaging to so=
me degree.
Then rig a rope&pulley or long lever (in place of hydraulics) to move the=
clutch lever toward disengagement. Pull the starter again. If the car does n=
ot move, you have disengaged the clutch.
There must be better ways....
