If its anything like my '64, and its a one-piece driveshaft, just unbolt the four nuts where the driveshaft's universal-joint is attached at the rear end, and then slide the yoke (still attached to the driveshaft) out of the transmission tunnel. I tie a rag up tightly around the end of the driveshaft to prevent the u-joint bearings from falling off and getting lost.

I guess us shade tree mechanic / computer peckers are not smart enough to understand the bolt / nut size ration. lol
I'm sorry for my error on 1/2" nut; I meant no harm or false intentions; please use a 1/2" wrench (preferably a 6 point box end) as mention from 59INA40 mention.
Thanks for the clarification..

Hopefully you will have help..... As typically in a clutch replacement procedure takes a modicum of mechanical aptitude.
Make sure the old clutch is not oil contaminated as this requires repair of gaskets or a rear main seal before the new unit goes back in. And make sure the flywheel is within spec or re-surfaced correctly or a new clutch will be wasted posthaste.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but if you have to ask how to remove the driveshaft you probably shouldn't be attacking a clutch swap by yourself. Find a buddy that's been there before and get some help. Also get a shop manual or Motors Manual (or Chiltons) for the steps.
Save yourself some trouble and get some form of help. We all have to start someplace.
Good luck,
