Tried searching, still need help

I have an 82' w/a 300 in it and a mechanical clutch. I want to swap that out, and put in a hydraulic clutch. Now I also want to swap in a zf tranny from say an 88-92, however, from what I can see about these trannies, they already have the bellhousing attached to them. From what I hear about converting from mechanical to a hydrauilic clutch, you must have an external slave cylinder, and there are only a few bellhousings that had an external slave cylinder, but would I still need that since the zf tranny has its own bellhsouing?

Nope, you can use the concentric slave cylinder. Just make sure you get the master cylinder, the line, and I think you may need the clutch rod.

So the line from the master cylinder would go to the internal slave cylinder through the side of the tranny? And the master cylinder would be one for, in my case a 300six? Also, the clutch must be switched to match the tranny n engine size( a 300six n 5spd in my case)? Then the clutch pedal must be switched due to differnt type(mechanical to hydraulic)?
