Sticking clutch pedal

I got the chance to take a closer look at my sticking clutch pedal last
night. I removed the pin the disconnected the shaft/clevis from the
pedal and the pedal still sticks; it'll drop down about an inch before
it meets any resistance. Since it's no longer connected to the master
cylinder, this leads me to believe that the problem is either the return
spring, or maybe the main pivot bushing?

I did order a new pin/clip/clevis from the dealer, but they sent me the
wrong one - it is for the brake pedal, so I need to go return them
today. The pin currently in the car is in very bad condition, it
actually has a large groove worn into it, and the clevis looks a little
worn too. So I'm going replace these, but is there another part I should
order while I'm at the dealer? A return spring, whole new pedal
assembly?

BTW, this is on my '86 4kcsq. Thanks for the help.
