Default Bellhousing, Clutch and Pressure Plate Install Question

Allright, I need your Expertise...

Plan of action this weekend is to get my drivetrain assembled. While I am not making any radical changes over a stock setup, I want to make sure I am doing this correctly. My main questions are concerning proper fork geometry, because I don't want to do this twice.

List of Parts:

New Flywheel (GM Made in Mexico, for one piece rear main)

New Clutch Kit (McCleod Super Street - Disk, Pressure Plate, Throwout)

New Clutch Fork (GM for Corvette Applications, old one was thrashed)

New Bellhousing Pivot Ball (NOS GM 1.5 inches fixed, old one was roached)

Using my old 621 Bell, had to get a crack welded, otherwise fine.

Trans is my Muncie 4 speed, rebuilt by Box and Gear Corp of Van Nuys, CA

I verified the distance between the Bellhousing (where it mates to the block) and flat part of the pivot ball as 4.75 inches.

What do I need to be watching for with the fork? I'm concerned that I may need an adjustable pivot, but considering this is a relatively stock setup, I think I should be okay? Any tips or advice you gents or ladies can offer?
