Okay, first of all I don't have much experience using it. My question is that I attached the flywheel with Locktite red on each flywheel bolt at 106 ft/lbs AS WELL as attaching the pressure plate to the flywheel with red on each of those bolts at 15 ft/lbs. Am I going to be breaking any of these bolts when I need to take them off, or will heating them with a torch make it fairly simple?
 
You shouldn't have to use heat. Just a good impact gun. Use either Mopar Rust penetrant or a Carb. Cleaner on the bolt prior to trying to remove them. One of those two will eat up the loc-tite but I've forgotten which one. Just don't use too much because both are oil based and will leave a slight residue on the clutch, pressure plate, or flywheel surface causing some slippage.

Okay. No matter what I use to try and loosen them I'll end up using break cleaner on the flywheel and pressure plate to clean them before reassembly
