(Mk1) Clutch replacement q's



Hey all.
Time has come for me to replace the clutch in my '81 this weekend (slipping something awful).  I have a Sachs clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch disk, etc), but what else should I do while I'm in there?  Anything REALLY important?  I'm on a very tight budget....
I have access to a hoist, jacks, jackstands, help, etc, so I should be okay.  This is my first clutch (not counting swapping the one over in my '84 engine transplant), what else should I look out for?  If I recall correctly, Bentley says the motor has to be at #1 TDC for alignment purposes, I'd look but I'm at work right now.  
Any advice or warnings would be greatly appreciated!!

TIA!
