Lots of extentions. 13mm socket. 13mm 3/8 drive shallow swivel socket. 1/2-3/8 adapter would probably come in handy, especially if you're using a Craftsman ratchet (they tend to be short, no leverage). 15mm socket, 15mm wrench for torque arm and trans mount. PB Blast to loosten the 02 sensors (use VERY sparingly, too much could seep in and contaminate. Never touch or allow an O2 sensor to get dirty. Store it seperate). An 02 socket helps, but a large adjustable will probably work. You'll need a 24mm socket for the crank bolt (to turn the motor for the TC bolts). A 3/8" torque wrench. Jack, stands, a buddy to spot you if the trans falls on you.
I think that's about it. Anything else would be in a basic set anyway. Oh, a pick with a 90 degree hook on one end, to fish out the connector for the oil level sending unit. You'll need to unplug that to drop the starter
Good luck!
