Thrust bearing for a 617/manual tranny swap

I'm in the middle of a project that has a NP435 tranny bolting to the back of a 617 turbo. I was bolting the upper oil pan on this afternoon and got to thinking about a thrust bearing on the crank to take the pressure of the clutch being depressed. I didn't bother pulling main caps to see if there's one there, but I'm assuming it is.

Can anyone confirm this? I know a manual tranny swap is getting common so I'd imagine this question has come up in the past.

Thanks for an reassurance!

Jim
