Default Replacing clutch on the cheap

I have a '92 Accord that I'd like to sell (it doesn't get much use since I got my del Sol). Problem is, the clutch is about 80,000 miles old and I think it'd be easier to sell the car with a new clutch in it. The clutch doesn't slip right now, but if I put the car in 3rd with the parking brake on, it takes a few seconds to sputter out instead of dying cleanly like it's supposed to. I'll be doing my own work (have helped friends with clutch jobs 2x before & done the timing belt).

A full clutch kit (with the friction disk, the pressure plate, and the pilot bearing) is about $150 at the local auto parts store. I can get just the friction disk for $30 bucks at Autozone, and the pilot bearing for ~10.

Can I just replace the friction disk & pilot bearing? Or do I really need to replace the pressure plate at the same time?
