Separate the transmission from the motor, if you have not already. If you have not then dont forget to drop the cross member and the drive shaft. It is an internal slave cylinder, so once you can see the inside of the bellhousing its the thing that is bolted to the trans with the splined shaft running through it. Its a few bolts and a quick connect for the line from the master cylinder. Thats all. Oh, and its got a throwout bearing on it too, it just comes off with it was one piece definitely buy a new one if you dont have one.

on an '85-87 the slave cylinder isn't "bolted" to anything.

It's simply captive between the removeable bellhousing
and the transmission.

Inside the bellhousing there are four 15mm nuts you need to remove them and the bellhousing slides off the studs.

The slave is typically "stuck" to the bellhousing by corrosion/crud/what-have-you
and may take a rap or two with a rubber hammer to seperate it.
