I would tighten the bell housing to the block first. That way if something is in a bind you won't crack or warp the bell housing. The bell housing to the block is a given and can't change. I should have mentioned when I set my trans output shaft low, it was to give room for shims to get exactly the right height.
Ol' Ron is correct about the clutch disk. I got mine from Cornhuskers'. They have the exact disc for this conversion. I believe Speedway has it also.
