Default Idles but no power

A while ago a posted a thread about how the car starts and idles but had no power. Well three fuel pumps and $850. later it has lots of power! I made it home to my driveway before the clutch stopped working. I parked it by starting it in gear- flooring it and slamming on the brakes. Ugly, but it worked.

After three removal and reinstalls of the clutch slave cylinder, I have acorns blocking the clutch lever. Just drove it around the block, it's a little grindy. Any suggestions? (Aside from mouse traps)

shop vac? compressed air with long thin nozzle?
is the problem in the bell housing? If you can see them you can get them!

remove the slave from the bell housing and the starter.
then remove the bell housing inspect the clutch and it related components also see if the upper bushing is good on the release arm
