DOUBLE CHECK THIS as I'm going purely off memory here, but I believe the flywheel bolts are 80ftlbs and the pressure plate are only 20ftlbs.... BUT DOUBLE CHECK THAT. I know everytime I do it I think the pressure plate torque specs are pretty low. MAKE SURE YOU USE A CLUTCH ALIGNMENT TOOL!!! If you already have one, great, if not you must have one. Just torque the bolts in an alternating star pattern.

The service manual indicates 75-85 for the flywheel to crank bolts, and 12-24 for the pressure plate.
