GM LFX 3.6L V6 Motor Swap

Well as I retired after 43 years in IT last month so its time to pick this one back up. With a little luck it may start before its 5th anniversary.

Wanted to get your opinion. Bought a new clutch some time ago and it's been sitting in its box all that time. With the humidity levels and salt air here it's rusted up a bit. I'm trying to determine is its too far gone.

First two are Pressure plate. Next fly wheel then clutch. Any saving these?? Worst case $400ish for new.

Perfectly good! Brand new! Clean a bit in mating surfaces and run it. 100% I wouldn't think twice.

Going to use it I think. Hit it all with a wire brush and then some 320 for good measure. The flywheel and pressure plate are still discolored some, but the surface is smooth to the touch. The last two show the groves and I really don't feel anything other than those. Had to order new flywheel bolts as I had the wrong ones.

Need to freshen up the engine compartment, bleed the clutch MC, attach everything to engine in preparation to dropping in.
