If I can advise from my own experience...
Remove it completely and replace it with a tension spring from Lingenfelter.

I still don't understand why someone put that spring there.
When I tested the difference without the OEM spring and with the OEM spring, I came to two findings.
1: The clutch pedal returns up more slowly.
2: In the end position, the clutch pedal is not so hard.
So the only thing I can think of why someone in GM put it there was because they were get scared the clutch was too hard or to make it easier for less skilled drivers to work the clutch pedal.
I have driven countless cars, tractors, trucks, bulldozers and other vehicles. But the Camaro was the only one I encountered with a clutch spring that pushes the pedal to the floor instead of from the floor.
I was totally unhappy when I brought the car and I didn't know how to drive it. Then I figured it out while bleeding when the clutch pedal disappeared under my foot.
I tossed it out installed a custom spring and felt like coming home from a party and kicking off dress shoes you've outgrown a long time ago
Of course, the OEM spring is no longer there...
