Do some cars not have slave cylinders and throwout bearings (picture included)?

[DAVE]

I am putting a transmission into a 5 speed
car.
It is a 96 Jetta GL with the 2.0L engine and
5 speed transmission.

There is no slave cylinder on this car and
I can't find the throwout bearing.
Instead it has a retaining plate that goes
behind the clutch.
