I wish I could give you a definitive answer but I'm afraid you will just have to install the clutch, fork and bellhousing and see what you have. Different clutches will result in some difference in the fork position. I trial fit mine and made sure that at rest, the fork was coming out well forward in the opening - so that there was plenty of room for the stroke to disengage the clutch. You don't need to install the transmission to see where the fork and TOB will ride based on positioning it against the clutch fingers.

From memory it seems I had two spacers and used the thinner one - but it will depend on your pressure plate height and maybe the fork (not sure if the big input fork is different from the small input fork). Even in the car, you should be able to change out the shim under the L-pivot through the transmission register opening as needed without having to actually remove the bell housing from the motor. It might be a little cramped but I'm pretty sure it's do-able.
