Right, you'll need all your normal tools + ball joint seperator, brake/clutch bleeding kit, clutch alignment tool, T55 torx bit, 3L gbox oil, and brake fluid.
Its not that harder job if you are quite mechanical, and theres plenty of guides out there. Basics, jack car up as high as poss, put on axle stands. remove NSF wheel, seperate the lower arm from the hub, and seperate NS inner CV. remove dogbone mount. remove gearchange linkage. Support engine with jack. remove battery tray, disconnect slave cyl pipe from slave, and remove gbox mount bolts (x3). Undo all gearbox to engine bolts. lower engine. slide gearbox off engine. renew clutch. Refit. in reverse order.
Im sure ive missed some bits in there, but you get the idea. i can do it on my own on a driveway in about an hour and 3/4.
