Great write-up. To elaborate a bit on the tool in step 12)
Drive axle removal. I would say "8mm triple square bit." I wouldn't mention anything about using a Torx. Nice work though!

A few things to add, well remove
You dont actually need to drop the starter, thur preenting you from having to drop any of the AC stuff.
Also the front drive shafts are held on by triple squares and if you plan on re-using the bolts then dont use a t-40, It might have worked for you but i have scene those stip the inside of the bolts. I replaced all of mine with 6mm allen head bolts.

Flywheel looks like it has some hot spots on it.
I would recommend that you include R&R of the flywheel to get resurfaced with a Blanchard grinder. Most automobile machine shops are capable of doing this work. Having a clean surface will help to restore a factory smooth clutch engagement. Putting a fresh clutch disk on a flywheel that looks like that will result in clutch chatter and over time this will result in having to replace the clutch again due to premature wear on the disk material.
