There is a real good tech article on this site I used in combination with my Chiltons manual to do my Clutch/Trans swap. I got the FMS flywheel (mine had been turned once already) and A-302 Clutch, new cable pilot bearing and throwout bearing. Should have gotten a new clutch fork ( summit sells a fork and new cable combo for $45 or so). Get all the parts from Jegs or Summit. I got mine from a local FMS dealer ( Forte's) and paid about $40 more so I could get the stuff right away.

The plastic alignment tool cost all of $1.95 at Auto Zone they had the throwout bearing, pilot bearing and removal tool( dont even think about pushing it out with grease

You have to drop the H pipe so maybe a good time to replace, we needed lots of torching to get my bolts off all the header studs were toast. The tranny is plenty heavy and is a pain to re-fill some type of hand held pump is needed( I almost drilled a access hole in the tunnel
