6 to 5 speed conversion question

2005 Evo 8 MR

To those who've done it before:
I'm converting to a 5 speed trans and wanted to know if the throw out bearing will be reusable? Or will it possibly be destroyed while removing it? Just wanted to know so I can order it beforehand, if needed. Thanks!

Just replace it, it's not expensive.

Yes. You can use it for 5-speed and 6-speed.

I got an extra 5-speed sitting in my garage I'd like to trade for a 6-speed if anyone is interested.
I've been to Hawaii. No since in having a 6-speed there! Couldn't find a speed limit over 45. I'd have my license revoked.
