I finally got it back together.  A few notes. 

The engine rear main seal was about a tenth of an inch thicker than the original seal so I pushed it in flush on both sides, instead of offest as per the manual.  The seal carrier gasket is apparently not available so I used Loctite 518, my new favorite sealant for certain leak-proof seals.  The clutch was as thick as a new one and simply rusted solid to the pressure plate.  It popped off with a slight pry.  I cleaned the FW and PP with fine emory cloth to a shiny finish which only took a few minutes.  Acess to the transmission fill plug seems difficult.  I ended up using a hose from the fill plug to a funnel under the hood.  It was slow to fill but much better that a face full of gearlube while trying to install the gearbox.

I add these notes in the hope that someone will find them useful in the future.

Have a nice day
