ive heard of people putting two small self tapping screws in the seal and pulling it out. i just did one the other day and used one of those small pocket screwdrivers and just stuck it in there and pryed it out. didnt do any damage at all to the crank, didnt even knick it or put the slightest scratch in it. good luck
the onepiece rear main maybe a little easier to do it you un torque the real main. which means pulling engine up enough to get at pan drop it and undo last main cap. if you go that way then you would also need a pan gasket. thats how i did my rear main in my pick-up. i know there are a lot more clearence issues in the stangs.

I did this today to get my rear main seal out. Worked like a champ. I also did the same thing to get the Pilot bearing out of the crank too.
The clutch you are getting is the same one I am putting on my car right now. Its a Valeo or however u spell it, so if you can find a King Cobra Clutch for cheaper buy that one. I am pretty sure they are the same exact clutch.
I would have tried to finish up tonight but its been raining hard off and on all day so I have given up for the night.
