Default easy clutch

i have purchased the easy clutch kit from Harly 36808-05for my wifes 01 fat boy
I have heard several different comment: need to remove primary cover etc.
my question is do i need to change out the clutch spring that comes with it, or can i simply intall the new ramp

heard some say want the stonger tension spring on the clutch
is it a waste of effort to just install the ramp and not the spring

thanks

It looks like the clutch spring provided is the stock clutch spring on 00-06 softails. So it seems to me there is no need to cahge it out the same one is already in the bike as it is an 01.
