The important number is what the battery measures when the key is turned. If 11.5 - 12.6 then fine.

Just by this I'd say battery but more info needed.
Thing about the clutch switch on the early cars is you never want to turn the key before fully depressing the clutch peddle. The contacts can handle the current just fine IF the switch is engaged. Problems happens when the key is turned first and the then the peddle pushed (or at the same time). The switch gets arced in this case. Too many times arcing the switch damages them. I had a problem in 97 but none since then.
