Remove or not, clutch peddle under-dash spring, when upgrading 1984 Chevy c30 Pressure plate to diaphragm

[Bkjmak]

I have a 1984 c30 with a SM465 transmission.
I replaced the OEM clutch pressure plate with a diaphragm style and now my clutch peddle, sometimes, stays depressed.
I found this on Google:
"Yes, new diaphragm springs significantly affect the clutch pedal. Because diaphragm style clutches apply force differently than older coil-spring (B&B) designs, they often require you to remove or adjust the factory under-dash "over-center" assist spring. If you don't, the pedal may feel numb, fail to fully return, or cause constant wear on the throw-out bearing."

Has anyone removed their assist spring?

I removed the assist spring and my problem went away. The assist spring was more powerful than the new diaphragm clutch, causing a clash between the two. The new diaphragm pressure plate requires less leg strength, so no assist is needed.

That's good to know! It's not an issue I've come across yet.
