I'd buy a EPC aka PCS, channel plate gaskets and a 4th clutch hub. Since you are an 02, unless it's been rebuilt...it's an automatic on the hub. Have 4 M6 x 1.00 about 70-130mm bolts on hand with the heads missing and edges rounded. These are your "alignment pins/channel P gasket holders" when the trans is on it's side.
Beyond that, it's nothing too crazy. You are going to be half under a suspended drivetrain and it needs to be lowered a decent amount to get the side cover off. Once that's off though, it's relatively simple. Really, it's just the time to do it.
