Need help with clutch linkage parts

So last weekend I picked up an A833OD for a steal price, and I'm planning on putting it into my '68 notch (360/904) over the winter. I'm already aware of what I need for the flywheel, clutch, and driveshaft, but I'm a little lost on the clutch linkages and what will need to be done there.

I know that the factory clutch setup was a series of mechanical linkages (?), with a Z bar going between the frame rail and the tranny. What I don't know is which parts these are, how many there are, and especially how to install and adjust them. One of my questions is if I purchase a hydraulic clutch kit, will it be easier than going with the factory mechanical route? I'm wondering because the car is a factory automatic vehicle and I'll have to cut and weld no matter what. I figure that if it'll be easier to install a hydraulic clutch kit, then I'll probably do that, Unless the factory mechanical route will be significantly cheaper. I've looked at hydraulic clutch kits for about $400.
