When to fit the clutch cilynder onto the bellhousing today and dropped the pin that acts on the clutch fork into the bellhousing
Engine out tomorrow then 
Magnet on a bit of string, everything else is ali so should do the job.
Buy one of those pen size extending magnetic pick-up tools from Toolstation, B&Q, Screwfix etc. etc.
Even drill a hole in the lower edge of the bell-housing to access before you start stripping the box off.
BOL.

I feel your pain!
I once dropped the dizzy drive gear of a Mini engine into the depths of the gearbox.
It was a 8 hour engine out and strip job from the rear of my GTM

As above then, I have one of those extending magnets on a stick, actually like a small car aerial and its very useful for probing as you can steer
clear of other stuff.
Worth a couple of quid even if it does not work in this instance.
^^^ tied that too but there isnt enough room to get it at an angle that avoids the flywheel.
Is the bell housing on studs or bolts? Can you slacken the nuts/bolts enough to leave a gap for the pin to fall out? If it is on bolts. replace a few
with threaded rod to give more movement.
