I am currently involved in this same issue. There are 2 approaches; 1. a true HYD throwout bearing system. You 2 basic choices are Keisler and Mclod. I think the Mclod is a better system, however neither are cheap. 2. a HYD clutch system in which you run a HYD MC connected to a slave cylinder that pushes or pulls the throwout bearing arm (you use a conventional throwout bearing).
I personally like option #2 better as it allows you to make all of yoru adjustments without taking the trans out. Option 1 requires you to space the HYD TB between the trans case and the pressure plate. The kits are supposed to give you all of the hardware you will require, however from what I have seen, there is still some "adjustment" or fine tuning required. The problem with option #2 is that there isnt a lot of room down near TB arm factoring the starter and exhaust. I sourced all of my own parts from places like speedway and am making my own brackets. The company that was mentioned here does carry a kit that uses a slave cylinder to activate the TB arm. I am not sure how thiers attaches to the engine or trans or exactly where (would love to see a picture of this setup).
With regards to the slave cylinder, there are 2 options; a puller and a pusher. Most setups of this nature use the pusher, however I have seen one kit for a Mopar that uses a pusher, although once again I have no idea of how they make it work.
I am waiting on my headers (TTI) to see what space I actually have to work with, then I will figure out how to make it work. Again, with option #2, you dont have to pull the trans and can continue to work on it once the car is assembled.

got picture of it installed? I am not doubting you or the kit, I would just like to see it installed.

Got this idea from goldduster318. He used some parts to setup a hydraulic clutch with an external slave cylinder that actuates your stock clutch fork. Much cheaper this way and no hydraulic throw out bearing to worry about leaking.
Anyways, for parts...it uses a wilwood 3/4" bore master cylinder with integrated resivaur (WIL-260-1304 from summit), a wilwood pull style slave cylinder WIL-260-1333. You'll also need to order another 5/16-24 spherical rod end to use with the master cylinder. Make your own bracket to mount the slave cylinder and run some brake line to connect the two together.
do you have a picture? Id like to see how the slave cylinder is mounted.
Not a very good picture but he made a bracket to attach the slave cylinder to the transmission side cover if memory serves. I remember he said he was going to make a different bracket because this design made the side cover leak. I bought the same parts he used but haven't put it together yet. I don't think it would be a big deal fabbing a bracket out of steel that mounts to the bell housing bolts.
