i would get another 2 jack stands to make the car even....wouldnt do just the front...you want the car to be as level as possible so the tranny will go in smooth...and when you align the clutch make sure you can smoothly move the tool in and out a few times to make sure its correctly lined up. also there is a metal gasket between the engine and the actual bell housing of the tranny...make sure to get it back in there...it has bolt holes that the gasket goes on to help this. looks like you pretty much got everything except a bleeder for the clutch...i uses a handheld pump with a collector bottle and a vac line to get the fluid out of the clutch fluid line. OHH and the biggest thing here....when you disconnect the main drive shaft DO NOT damage the seal inside...also you will need to cut the end off(leave the shaft) a open ended wrench 9mm and put it into a breaker bar to get the bolts loose on the main driveshaft. so have something that can cut metal wrenches. i think thats the only tool i had to make to do this. you will also have to disconnect your cat back from the cat...you dont have to remove the whole exhaust so just tie it up and make sure not to move it around too much or you can damage your cat converters joints(flex section)
