AP organic would be fine (avoid 'cheap' clutch companies)
if your ok with doing gearboxes etc then it shouldn't be too much of a chore to do on the drive, remove the front prop (4 allen bolts) then its the same as a normal rwd box. Will probably need 2 of you to get the box back on, there not light!

If it were me i would go standard again, its the weak link in the drive train and would rather the clutch give up than the box or diffs. Should handle 300bhp any way. I had a stg3 sapph on std clutch and never had any probs.

Stage 3 is to much power on a std clutch, slips to much when launching.
can only recomend uprated pressureplate and std clutch plate, this will also slip and can take about 400 bhp/500nm (did in my car anyway) and my std gearbox took about 70 full bore launch control launches, and 25k km before 3. gear let go(clutch lasted this long also)
