A buddy of mine has a KC clutch in his garage with 20K miles on it. He told me I can have it for free because he does not have his mustang anymore, therefore, it is just taking up space in his garage. I needed a new clutch anyway, and with the money I will save I am looking at a Fidanza alum. flywheel. My car is a 96 GT conv. so I know it uses the 6 bolt flywheel. Is anyone running this set up that could give me some feedback?

I think the King Cobra is a pretty nice clutch, had a couple of those over the years and liked how they retained a stock-ish feel, unlike some other aftermarket clutch/pressure plate combinations. The Aluminum Flywheel is nice, but it makes casual/daily driving a little tougher because it needs a little more revs to get moving since it's storing less rotational energy than the steel setup. It'll take a little while to re-learn how to feel/drive it, but aside from having to rev it a little higher, you'll be just fine.
