Well your basic 3x5 with power cleans would look something like this:
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5
Workout B Squat 3x5
Military Press 3x5
Power Clean/Row 3x5
You see the rows are to replace the power cleans not the deadlifts. Power cleans are great dynamic strength movement and are VERY complimentary to the deadlift but the dl’s are a much better mass builder allowing much more weight. You can replace rows with power cleans but I wouldn’t drop deadlifts. Rows, imo, are going to be a better mass builder, however, than power cleans, but don’t quote me on that ;).
If you increase the squat to 5x5 then you may want to have the deadlift day be either a lower volume squat day or a ligher squat day so that you can lift to your optimum on deadlift and keep the squats moving.
But I wouldn't recommend altering the program for no reason. Why don't you tell us what's going on?

I agree on the power clean/row replacement. Also if your going to do heavy squats, I would do them on the day you do cleans/rows. For Cleans you will be doing a lot lighter weight than most exercise at first because there is a lot of technique to build in comparison to Deads.
So, going along with what everybody said,
lighter squats/heavy deads;
heavy squats/moderate cleans or rows.
just my $.02.
