clutch / flywheel install pre check list?

alright, this will be the second time in 2 months installing a new clutch and flywheel and I want to make sure i get it dead on, because the only thing worse then doing something twice due to error is doing it three times i have a resurfaced flywheel and a centerforce dual friction clutch. here is the jist of what i plan on doing if you have any input at all, want to add more steps or modify current ones, please let it be known!

Flywheel install
*Place flywheel on crank (any alignment or doesn't matter which bolt holes line up to crank?)
*Using red loc - tite on the bolts, thread in by hand and torque to 72-80 ft lbs, i was going to do 80 because i don't want them backing out, would there be a reason to torque more in the middle or lower on the 72-80 range?
*Torque the bolts in a cross-hitch style holding the crank bolt to keep everything still

Clutch Install
*Clean flywheel surface of all dirt and what not
*Place clutch disc on flywheel and hold there with clutch alignment tool
*Put pressure plate on top and hand thread in all 6 bolts
*Torque to spec in a cross hitch pattern (loc - tite?)

Tranny/clutch pedal
*Apply a lithium grease to all the points noted in the fsm (i've got a white lithium greese thats more liquidy then jello-y, should I look for something else?
*The part im confused about is adjusting the clutch pedal, i know how to turn the pushrod in and out but how do i know where is a good point?

I think that sums it up, but let me know if there is anything else i need to know/do for a successful clutch install.
