You haven't cursed enough! If you haven't sworn at least 40 or 50 times, and possibly made up some new curse words, you're nowhere near getting that sucker in. ;^)
Seriously, reinstalling those trannies IMHO is a miserable job. But there's one key thing: you say there's nothing to keep the throwout bearing spring compressed and that's wrong. If the hardware is in good shape, you should be able to press the bearing onto the slave and it'll stay there and keep the spring compressed. At least until you've got the transmission 90% of the way home and it taps something and springs loose. Then you get to start over again. :^(
