Great looking project. How long are you budgeting for all of the work? I actually just got done with the same work last weekend.

Overall I did:
* Full 3 piece clutch job
* IMS Bearing, I went with the Pelican kit and will replace again on my next clutch.
* Plugs / Coil packs / Plug tubes
* RMS
* Engine oil change
* Swepco 201 gear oil

I wish I had actually thought of it and replaced the AOS, Coolant Tank, and Oil Tube, I've got 40K on my AOS, and the coolant tank and oil tube are original with 95K on them.

Also, if you haven't, change your gear oil now while your transmission is out. It's much easier when you don't have to deal with pumping gear oil in from under the car. I was going to put my transmission on an engine stand, but wound up using a lounge chair that my neighbor was throwing away. It fit perfectly (picture 8).
