In my opinion getting the clutch and TA set exactly right in this case does not matter. I think you understood that the TA clutch shaft needs some free play in the Direct position which means it can be moved slightly in the counter-clockwise direction, meaning no force is being applied which might be partially disengaging the TA clutch. And also just like a regular machine the pedal clutch needs some free play. I have a hunch that the TA release bearing is very bad condition and making noise maybe even grinding metal to metal. If while pulling the TA back and the lever feels like it is pulsating this means some of the release fingers on the TA pressure plate have broke or their cast in pivot points have broke out. Also a common failure.
Edit to add: My reason for saying this is why spend any extra time adjusting it to the 9th degree when it has to come apart anyway. If it is actually usable without tear down then sure adjust it correctly.

Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
