34a Once compelled the art editor to be fearful (5-7)
Is this 'faint-hearted'? I can see 'hearted' contained in three words of the clue but that's not helping me parse it.

1d Very small computers with integrated circuit must include PC (11)
Microscopic?

Thanks ChrisE.
With 34a, how is the clue telling us to use a series of consecutive letters from 'the art editor', or is the 't-hearted' part constructed in some other way?

It’s “the art” from the clue and then Ed from editor

32d Work to which Edentata might provide answer, if split? (8,4)
41d Player, the rest of the eleven and I engaged in lechery (8)

Help please, no idea about either one; not a clue as one might say!
