Hi Darren

The clutch cylinder attaches to the lever that will come away with the box, so it should be OK. If in doubt remove it.
You will need to tilt / raise the engine to extract the gearbox. Be carefull not to trap things at the front as the engine tilts.
There are lots of adapter plates and special housings that may be used, so follow Julians tip to check for hidden securing bolts.
There are normaly some locating pegs, these can be tight and a careful nudge may be needed to release them.

Where in the UK are you, there will probably be someone near that could help. GT40 Enthhusiasts club membership might be a good idea, If you are near Stoneleigh there will be cars and members there for the club AGM 4 May

Steve.
