A few specialty tools, get a flare wrench. Craftsman sells a good one with a 10 and 12mm ends. It looks like a box wrench but has an opening cut out. Great for things like brake lines and such.
If you ever plan to take your axle's out, say for a swap or at least a clutch, you'll need a 32mm socket. The axle nuts are 32 and torqued to 132 ft/lbs. Most 1/2" impact guns don't have the power to break them loose either. A good socket and a strong breaker bar you can take back when it bends usually does the trick. A 8' pole doesn't hurt.
If your pulling the clutch, you'll also need a set of 12-point sockets. The flywheel is held to the crank with them and so is the pressure plate to the flywheel (12 point bolts).
That's all I can think of for now. Air tools are helpful but not nessicary for most jobs. Seeya.
