Does this mean if I'm going to incorporate Power cleans I have to also incorporate High Pulls or can I have Deads and Cleans? I don't mind doing High Pulls because it does help with Cleans I just don't want my Deads to go down in weight.

Good question. Personally, if I don't work my deadlifts for a month, they really never decrease very drastically, especially if you're doing powercleans and squats in your routine. Matter of fact, it's a very good idea to drop them for a mesocycle if you've been doing them for so long without a break.
You're correct about high pulls being incorperated to increase your powercleans. That's why they're there. High pulls will work the beginning of your clean before the catch. If you're already strong with it, then it's up to you. IMO, if you've been deadlifting a lot lately, it may be a good switch that'll really bring up your clean.

Should I use a different workout that would incorporate OL better? I havent' got a chance to read on Glenn Pendlay's routines so I don't know if his would be better or Bill's.

You can certainly take what both are saying and make something that won't get in the way of your BJJ training. Oftentimes, three full body's are super tough with that layout. There's no way I could do that anymore with the weight I'm moving!
Nothing wrong with making the routine into an four day with lower volume per day. That's what I'm basically doing and it's far and away MUCH better for me. For example, instead of doing Day 2's workout [front squats, ohp's, pullups, and deadlifts], you can cut that down to pullups, curls, and deadlifts.. And those deadlifting numbers will skyrocket as you're not wearing yourself out with all the other exercises... Especially cutting down the mental strain of fitting everything in.
Something along these lines Dave:
Monday: Pullups; Curls; Powercleans
Wednesday: Bench (1x5 Pyramid); Shoulder Iso; Triceps press or Extensions
Friday: High Pulls; Squats
Sunday: Bench (5x5 static); OHP's; ect
Everything still remains 5x5 except for possibly the powercleans (3-5 x 3) as well as the biceps and triceps (which should be repetition).
