It will lift, although there should be some spring resistance. Lifting the arm pushes the push-rod on to the clutch plate to release the clutch. If the box was fitted I would imagine that this would be very hard to do as the spring on the clutch plate is rather strong (unless of course something is broken). You have a lot more leverage when you are pressing on the clutch pedal.
Have you, or are you planning on changing any of the gearbox seals? I have had a bad experience of either the output shaft, or push rod seal failing and contaminating a brand new clutch. Neither of these seals can be done with the box in the car.
Have a look at Welcome to BrokeVW.com It's a really good site for info on the 020 box.
I can dig out the torque numbers for the cam shaft retaining caps later on if no one else does first…
