Also, once you move the slave cylinder do you have access to disconnect the connector going to the switch before you start removing the switch? Sorry for the dumb questions, I haven't gotten under the car yet to see what I'm getting into, but I understand it isn't a fun process.
Thanks!

As always, getting the car up on a lift makes life easier. It is doable without one if necessary.
I have not noticed the slave removal and re-installation to be any different than other hydraulic clutch systems. Just make sure you get it lined up when putting it back in. If your slave has not been changed, check it for signs of leakage. Might as well change it out if it looks suspicious. Unless you are NCRS anal, use a slave from a later year. The position of the bleeder is much more accessible on the later ones as opposed to the '90.
Getting the connector off the original switch can be a bit of a challenge depending on the dexterity of your fingers. The new switch will have a pigtail so will not be an issue to reconnect. Be sure and secure the wiring after installation.
Hope this helps.
