Joe,
How does one check to ensure the clutch is fully engaged? That is so the CSC/throwout bearing is not riding on the pressure plate fingers when the clutch pedal is off the floor.
With an OE clutch/CSC arrangement this is built in, but what about in the case of HD CSC and aftermarket clutch?
It's easy enough to check for the opposite - Wheels not spinning with the car running/off the ground in gear with the clutch pedal to the floor. If the wheels are spinning clutch is not fully disengaged. Of course there may be some wheel spin if the trans is cold.
Thanks!

The release bearing will always ride on the pressure plate, It is constant contact with it at all times even with the stock csc. It doesn't apply much pressure, just the pressure of the spring inside the CSC so long as the master cylinder is adjusted correctly

So other than measuring height of stock components, then comparing new components, once the entire clutch assembly is installed, is there any way to determine if the pressure plate is preloaded and/or by how much?

So long as the master cylinder is adjusted correctly you should not have any preload, If the master is adjusted too tight it can push on the pressure plate a little due to the master not releasing pressure back to the reservoir. Proper master cyl adj is crucial on any M/T car.
Proper adjustment is when the pedal is not pushing on the master cylinder at all when the pedal is at the top position, The master should be pulled back all the way without the pedal stopping it. In other words, you should be able to put the clevis pin in without having to move the pedal or master cylinder rod at all when both are in the full up position.
