autoparts store should have the clutch alignment tool.

i would change the front and rear main seals, along with the oil pan, if it leaks.
other than that, you could get all of the other gaskets when the engine is in if you dont wanna have it out for a while

What are you getting with the motor? Is it a rebuilt long block? Usually should put a new water pump, oil pump, of course plugs.

All tune up components(plugs, wires, cap, rotor), timing belt, t.stat,, all the rubber hoses at the back of the head, all the seals under the timing belt(cams, front crank, oil pump shaft), and any other hoses that look worn- especially coolant hoses.
