Default Seized clutch?

Bought a '71 911T that sat for 30 years, needs one of everything. Got the engine on a table, removed bolts and nuts(4 total) from transmission. Trans moved a fraction but WILL NOT come off. Assume clutch seized . Need advice on un-seizing.

seized clutch will not stop engine from separating from transmission. more likely you clutch release arm is not unhooking the fork from the release bearing . allow your clutch release arm to turn while backing transmission from engine. if its a 71 im not sure if it has an inspection port on it like the 915 does.. if so get in with a scope or strong light and peer in , you might see the fork binding .
