Circle track pull slave. Or, make a push slave brackets like the gmt400 trucks got. It essentially mounted to the bellhousing bolts, triangulated to the clock somewhere, and allowed the slave to push the fork like mechanical linkage did

What duster said.

or hydraulic Throwout bearing.

Thanks! 
speedway has an affordable unit. 7/8" bore translates to 22.x mm where the s10 has a 21mm bore. Problem?

Those are slave bores?

If yes, then your new slave will require 10% more fluid volume to travel the same distance. I *think* it'll be fine, but I'm not a clutch system expert. If I'm thinking right, the worst case condition would be with new clutch and flywheel, and you might not get full disengagement with clutch pedal to floor.

if those are master bores, then you should be fine.

Slave bore, yes. At least, RA lists the stock replacement as 21mm. 
there's more math involved too, since the t5 is an arm the hinges on the far side of the bellhousing with the TO bearing in the middle of the throw, where this trans hinges on the near side with the TO on the other side of the fulcrum. I don't know the leverage ratios, but I can measure them and get an idea. Internet photos of both arms show either should be roughly 2:1 mechanical advantage.

I think my approach would be to get the slave that is sized to work with that trans and TO combination, then get the master that pushes the right amount of fluid with your pedal.

What bellhousing trans and clutch application are you actually using? I'll see if I can pull up in my DayQuil muddled brain what hydraulic clutch combinations setups I can think of that'll work with it

It's a Saginaw 4 speed. I don't know the original application. We got it from a guy that had a mid 60s c20, but it wasn't original. 
Thinking back, I'm sure he gave us a hydraulic setup with it, but I don't know if it's still around.

What bellhousing? And pictures of bellhousing?

I swear that looks like an early 60s c20 hydraulic clutch bellhousing

Could be. But the LH header wants to occupy the same real estate, so I think I'll need that pull style slave and I'll just have to binky up a bracket for it.
