Nice photo documertary Mike.
I hope you didn't forget the low/reverse band strut, only they can be a bit fiddely to get in with the entire gear train in place.

I agree with Fred. Dry stack the clutch plates just to measure clearance, Then take them out & immerse them in ATF for at least a half an hour.

Good Job man. Keep us posted.
Cheers. Gaz
