The slave is at the top of the gearbox not the side ( typo? ) yours will be retained by a bolt which is easier to deal with than the early ones that were held by a roll pin. As above loosen the pipe first and wind the cylinder off it - saves time.
The master is a fiddle to be sure. I always used to maintain that Audi took the heater box and clutch cylinder and then built the car around them! It is a lot easier on a left hand drive car in fairness so it’s just one of the many things that didn’t lend itself to be moved over without redesign. With respect to Phil Payne his instructions are complicated in the extreme and describes a lot of work that is not required. There is no need to remove the drivers seat or the steering wheel and switch gear let alone the throttle pedal. In the day I replaced, literally, dozens of these and never had need to destroy clips so that one confuses me. Generally speaking release the reservoir in the scuttle so the feed pipe can be pulled through a little. Remove the under dash and pedal trim. Remove the lower steering column (one bolt and slide it up and off). Remove bolts and nuts holding the pedal box in ( not forgetting the one hidden in the engine bay on the other side of the fire wall). The pedal box can then be pulled down enough to access the cylinder. Undo the pressure pipe, lever out the feed pipe (plenty of rags to catch fluid) two nuts and bolts and pull the cylinder of the actuating rod ( don’t remove the rod) if your new cylinder comes with a threaded rod ( the genuine ones did) then discard it.
As I said, in the past I have done dozens so I accept it’s easy for me to say but it’s not difficult so much as fiddly
