It sounds like you will be replacing the clutch master cylinder, the line to the slave cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder. They go bad from contaminated (read OLD) brake fluid. If the line was upgraded to the metal you could reuse it. Check the brake fluid and see if it is dark and "chunky". Flush the brakes too and expect the seals to start leaking there also. Just some of the things to be expected when you buy a 20 year old car. On the tires check the air pressure.
