(Mk1) Clutch replacement q's

[bbeacock@rogers.com (Ben Beacock)]

Change the rear main seal on the engine, and the small pushrod seal and
main seal on the tranny.  If your clutch was slipping, there is a good
chance one of these is the source of the problem.

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!
Nate
