Check to see if you have a manually adjustable clutch cable, these old Vauxhalls still used manual adjusters.
If you do a quick check of the brake & clutch pedals they should be level. If the clutch is a lot lower it needs adjusting from under the bonnet. If it is this type it takes about 30seconds to adjust.
