Mr. Henry:
I'd surely suggest a front oil cooler (fender or spoiler mount), an aluminum flywheel and aluminum pressure plate as part of your clutch setup.
I might also warn you that using solid engine & tranny mounts will put a LOT of vibration and noise into the car. The rubber Club Sport mounts are far better for anything but full-on dedicated race cars.

In addition to what Steve suggested:
-915 shift lever housing
-Clutch cable for your vintage trans.
-Electronic speedometer and sending unit (if trans is post '77?; not sure when they ended mech. drive)
-Check CV joint connections between trans and axle. You may have to swap out the CV joint to match the bolt pattern.
-New trans. input shaft seal. You may not want to access this if you have an early 915. Later versions provide access to the seal from the bell housing.
-Large ballpeen hammer (to provide add'l sheet metal clearance for the trans.)
