That's a big IF. If the car is weathered (rusty) enough that the clutch slave line is rusty and stuck, chances are that the crossover nuts will be in a very permanent state too. That will lead to breaking studs off the manifolds, and now you've created yourself Yet Another DeLorean Project. Fixing this will probably require you to remove the manifold(s) from the engine as drilling out the studs is very difficult in-place. Not everyone is ready to replace the exhaust system with flex tubing, especially if you live in an area where they do emission testing/inspection. I have removed the slave, with the line still attached, with the crossover in place. It's very fiddly working around the heater lines up there but it can be done.
