Clutch replacement parts list
The parts department suggested only the following four parts for a recommendation on a clutch replacement ('01 MY, 97K miles):
All Honda OEM parts:
Release Bearing
Fly Wheel
Disc
Pressure Plate
Other parts that I've picked up include:
clutch fork
clutch release hanger
clutch release hanger spring
Slave cylinder
Pilot bearing
What other parts should I consider for this job? I'll be supplying parts to a Honda Master Mechanic.

Why are you buying a new flywheel instead of just having your existing flywheel resurfaced?
Why did you pick up the clutch fork, clutch release hanger, clutch release hanger spring, and slave cylinder?! All that seems unnecessary unless you have a clear reason to replace them.
The only other thing I can think of is some high temp grease but your mechanic will likely have that.
If I were having my clutch installed by a master mechanic all I would buy are an OEM disc, and OEM/ACT pressure plate, an OEM pilot bearing, and an OEM release bearing.

Mark it down to ignorance. Someone was selling these parts and I thought I would need them. The price he asked for the package deal was less than the total of each part separately, so I bought them about a year ago, in anticipation of the clutch job. I thought originally that I would attempt the clutch replacement myself, yet I don't know if I'll have the time to do it at home.

I've done my own clutch with a few friends, we even had a lift, it took some serious time.... but after watching Billman do 3 clutch jobs at the tech days at my house, WOW. The man is lightning fast, knows which step and which tool is next, it's like second nature for him already.
What I'm saying is, sometimes it best to leave it to a trusted pro.
When is the last time your Honda Master Tech did an S2000 clutch?
Wouldn't hurt to do fresh clutch fluid too. In fact, while it's on the lift, do the diff and tranny fluid too.

The Honda Master tech last did a clutch just a week or two ago that I know if. He's also an S owner and track guy. He put in my Spoon Sub-Frame bolt collars. I trust him. It's just that it will take me a long time to save up for his labor rates. I can change my own tranny and diff fluid at home, yet I consider them due now, too.

Good luck, take your time and be prepared to buy or borrow tools, mostly extensions.

If I were you I would definitely sell the slave cylinder. As for the clutch fork, I have read they can generate some play with them after time so you might want to give that to your master tech for him to evaluate whether it is worth replacing.
