Just did this a few days ago...

Just undid the nuts on the front of the MC and took the clutch res supply line off and plugged them both. Moved the master toward the front and down toward motor. It took a little time but was actually pretty easy. The hardest part is removing the upper left nut on the booster under the dash. Blackhawk angle head geared 13mm wrench fits the bill. We were not about to go through clutch bleed hell so we did it this way. Wouldn't do it any other way.
