<VV> clutch slipping... I think

[Cash Case]

Hi guys. This has probably been asked before about a hundred times,  
but ... here's a hundred and one.
I took my '65 Corsa out last week and had a great time. It has a few  
problems I noticed while adjusting the lifters.
While accelerating I noticed what I'm pretty sure is the clutch  
slipping. My question is, Do I have to remove the engine and  
transaxle to replace the clutch and fly wheel. Can I support the  
transaxle and the engine and lower them six or eight inches and then  
unbolt the transaxle and slide it forward. Then unbolt the flywheel  
and put in the new clutch and flywheel.
I know this sounds odd, but I live in an apartment and they will most  
assuredly frown on me removing the motor and transaxle.

Another problem I found was at least a couple of the push rods are  
bent, but other than not spinning I don't think they will be a  
problem as long I'm not doing crazy stuff. I have some other push  
rods that are used. I don't know if there is anyone making new push  
rods for these. Can I use the used pushrods?

thanks guys-
