If keeping it standard I would go for a sachs clutch as seem easily available from a lot of suppliers and they are cheap, if looking at getting more power out of it later on, could look at a valeo clutch from the volvo 1.7 but it will be a lot stifferon the pedal.

My transmech clutch has been fantastic at 200hp 200lbsft everyday. And around 35quid. It's the 1.8 Volvo job.

Standard clutch is not heavy at all, feels same as any other standard car that you can drive of similar age and size
