Either get the flywheel resurfaced, or get a new flywheel from NAPA for around $50 (the best choice). If you get the old one resurfaced, be sure to get a shim to compensate for the amount removed from the old one.

Rear main is a no brainer. Its right there, and even if it isn't leaking its a good thing to do.
I would check the condition of the output shaft while you are at it...Get the driveshaft balanced and new U-joints put in too. You might as well, if it is already out.
All hail Project "Marauder" !

No. One way to remove it is to thread a couple screws in it, 180* apart, and then use them as leverage to walk the seal out

Oh yeah, don't forget to replace the pilot bearing/bushing in the end of the crankshaft....
