a swivel is a big help on the belhousing bolts. i call it a wobble head, some call it different.
if you're getting a performabuilt tranny, you'll need a T50 torx bit for the inside bellhousing bolts.
if its got the stock torque converter bolts in it, they are allen head, but i dont remember what size. good luck gettin those bitches out but PLEASE take your time and dont strip em out. if you havent already, go to your local hardware store and get (3) grade 8 bolts-M12 X 1.5 (15mm long if you have the stock flexplate)
