what are some good components to replace while the transmission's off? seals parts whatever.

depends on how crazy you want to get. I am doing a tranny swap from auto to 5spd. I am doing, engine mounts, tranny mount, lower ball joints, outter tie rods, new o-rings for the sterring rack lines. Can't remember what else.

Maybe rear main seal, usually a cause for leaking oil at the rear of the motor. Also, can't remember what it is called but the plate to the right of the rear main seal. If it is plastic there is an update part that is metal.

It's the oil separator plate. Yeah the plastic can crack and cause leaks. There is a new metal plate.

If you already have a metal plate, it should be ok.

is the rear main seal one you can just pull with a seal pulling hook and press a new one on?

You can actually get it with a small flat head too, prying from the inside of the seal outward and using the crank surface as a leverage point. It's how I do them. the new seal, it helps to tap it in with a small block of wood and a hammer. Lightly...
