70-71 911 box for 914-6 conversion, Looking for confirmations... Options

[Montreal914]

I was on the fence between using a 915 or a 901 style box for my 3.2 six conversion until recently where I read a comment from @ClayPerrine that the 70-71 911 (911/01) box was set up with the pull style clutch.

What I have in hand for my conversion:
- 911/01 box
- Three side shift 914 gearboxes
- Various gear set ratios to have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
- 100mm coarse spline output flanges to go with my 944 CVs

My plan was to use:
- Stock 3.2 flywheel clutch assembly currently on the engine
- Get a 70-71 release bearing
- Get a 72(?) clutch cable that would be straight pull (no cable pulley)

I was going to use the 911/01 bits, flip the R&P, reset the pinion depth, use complementary 914 side shift trans cover, shifting, etc

What I think I am undestanding from this thread linked below is:
- The pull clutch setup works well
- Yes, it can be tricky to get the release fork mating to the bearing upon assembly
- I should not use the 3.2 PP as it will pull the fork pivot bolt?
- I should use a 2.2 PP?
- What disk should I be using?
- Does this simply bolts on the 3.2 flywheel?
- Is the clutch pivot shaft/arm at the pedal cluster different than 914, should I replace it? I just rebuilt my pedal cluster.

Any inputs appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I agree, a Boxster trans behind a 3.6 would be pretty sweet. Only downside is weight but not so much that I wouldn’t give it a go.
