I haven’t got much in the way of experience with full suspension bikes - I’ve owned three - a GT LTS, an RTS and a Giant Trance 29.
I’ve just picked up some of Halifax’s finest office furniture to have a play with.
When setting chain length do I want all the air out of the shock to know what the maximum “growth” will be?
How do clutches fair with chain growth - anything to look out for? I’ll be running a cup saucer esque 11-36 cassette.

Yes, you need to cycle the suspension through the complete range of travel to find the point of maximum growth.

Don't think so - the clutch doesn't affect the geometry, just makes it stiffer for the mech to extend.
