I actually prefer to use the factory bell housing and mechanical clutch on the swaps I do here. I never was a fan of adding hydraulics to the clutch. I dealt with that enough on 4th gen Fbodies for years and got tired of the issues they sometimes present.

The mechanical stuff has never let me down, works smooth as long as all your linkage is in order, and it's way cheaper and much easier to repair or replace parts when needed. Plus if you are adding a 5 speed to a car that's already a 4 speed, the parts are already there, and it helps to keep the swap cost a little more reasonable.

In the end it's up to you and what you want to deal with.
