Default Bdl clutch

Hello so I got my new clutch in the mail going to instal it Saturday up here in the north east when it's going to be 110 out. Anyways my one question is I know it seas to soak them 15 mins before in stall I've seen some people do over night 3 hours before . Does over night really make a difrence? Also do I just soak the friction plates or both? Thanks
