5-Speed Clutch Assembly rusty?

Hey guys, I met up earlier tonight with a guy to check out parts for my 5 speed swap I'm hopefully going to do this summer. He has the flywheel, flywheel bolts (missing one), clutch master and slave cylinders, and the 5-speed brake and clutch assembly.
The only issue I have is that his clutch assembly is rusty. I don't have any pictures of it, but the rust doesn't look too bad, but there IS rust on it, and around it.
I wanted to know if this could cause major problems in driving? Or is there a way I can get rid of the rust? It just looks like a light build of rust on the surface.

Thanks for any help/opinions in advance.

If its only a slight surface rust then just wire wheel it off and spray some rustoleum on it. Unless the rust has penetrated enough to cause structural damage then there isnt any problem.

Awesome, that's what I hoped to hear. Thanks for the help!
