I didn't read through the whole thread but, to append your write up.
You can do this swap much easier and with MUCH less error if you do NOT separate the rear housing from the dogbox sandwich plate.
You are more likely to drop the shift forks out of place (read some of that in this thread) by taking the rear off. Just leave it on and RTV sealed if you can, by only prying the bellhousing side to the sandwich plate.
This can be done with allot of other trans too! The Z31, S12 trans is shorter, but the sandwhich mount is the same, so you could take a CA20E trans, put an SR bellhousing on it, and drop an SR swap in say a 510 or S12 w/o having to modify the driveshaft.
Lots of interchangeability.
