Got it all done yesterday and the gearbox re-installed. Pulling the
flywheel was easy except for breaking the bolts loose in the first
place. It wasn't as heavy as I would have guessed. I'll have to
work on my guessing, I suppose. Also, for what it's worth, the GT6
crank has a pin that fits into a hole in the flywheel so that it goes
back on only one way. The ring gear was in fine shape, as expected
for the supposed age of the rebuilt engine.

The repair manual I got with the car (Autopress or something) said 42-
46 ft-lbs. I used 45. Please don't tell me that wasn't sufficient!
Once again, tanks to all who offer advice. Excellent one and all!
