The thing with hacksawing that you need to be prepared for is that it's a loooong process. Using a power drill to turn it into swiss cheese helps a lot. Having access to a Sawzall makes it infinitely easier.
CAVEAT!!!!! Clean the primary shaft seal very, very, very well to get any bits of aluminum sharpnel from the destroyed slave cylinder out of it. This shrapnel will chew it up faster than you can say antidisestablishmentarianism.
Clean out the entire bell housing area as well as you can.
WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE - replace the pilot bearing. It will ease shifting and reduce engine-frequency drivetrain vibation by a few orders of magnitude. I did this project last weekend and can happily report the difference.
