Big daddy:
I would get rid of the u joints, and align the engine, drive shaft and input shaft. With a cub style clutch there is torsional as well as compressive stress applied to the driveline.
FlatheadPuller:
It will not have a cub cluch Bruce. IT has a VW set up that is all self contained in the clutch housing. All I have to do is slide the ujoints on and go.
Big daddy:
All the VW clutches I have ever seen in a puller still did not use a U-joint. I would align everything, use a carrier bearing and still forget the U-jolint.
FlatheadPuller:
Here is the clutch housing Bruce. I removed the chain setup. Now there is a 1/2 inch plate that bolts to the rear side of the bellhousing. It has a sealed high speed bearing with a locking coller on it. That bearing holds the rear of the shaft. The pilotbearing in the crank is a roller pilot bearing. All this stays with the engine when it removed. I am using the original VW bellhousing to release the clutch. The wieght of the clutch housing is only 20lbs. Since a VW clutch is a push type clutch there will be no where for the output shaft of the clutch housing to go but toward the engine. The engine is so tall I cannot get it under the hood If I use a cub clutch setup.
