I once put in a Ford T-18 Tranny into a CJ. I called up the guys at CenterForce clutch company. They were very helpful. They should be able to help you too. Remove your old clutch and call them up. If you are not interested in CenterForce you should be able to find someone else to sell you a clutch with your specs. The pressure plate should be easy if you know the engine. They may ask you to measure the flywheel diameter and the clutch bolt holes just to make sure.
Of course the friction plate needs to match the diameter of the pressure plate. Next you will have to measure the input shaft of the tranny. If you know for sure what tranny you have you can just look it up. The input shaft of the tranny needs the to fit into the friction plate so you need its diameter and the number of splines.
