tools for tranny swap?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Cool thanks, I'm printing this and bringing it to
NAPA. Unfortunately, I really need the car on the road
NOW, so while the clutch isn't great, it's usable
until my motor swap later this summer. Hopefully NAPA
has tranny bushings, otherwise I'll have to make do
without those too I guess. Damn, forgot the speedo
cable had to come out. It's a slightly stripped, very
stuck phillips head screw. The drain plug socket is
supposed to be inverted correct? Any others inverted?
Any other helpful info you could pass on? This is
really out of my league mechanics-wise but I have no
choice. Any tech write-ups out there?
