Clutch job questions

Looks like I'm about to do a clutch job on my 98 9k CSE. Can't really complain at 199,000 miles I guess. Symptoms are that it's slipping when I floor it in 4th or 5th gear, so can't imagine what else it could be other than the clutch on its way out.
Anyway, looking to see if there's anything else I should do while I'm in there? I will replace the slave cylinder of course (seems like recommendation is to go with OEM here). I'm thinking of leaving the rear main seal alone unless there are obvious leaks from there, which I don't think there are. What about the pilot bearing?
Any hints or tips? I have a link to Quasi's procedure, which seems pretty exhaustive. I've done 2 clutch jobs before - one on a 1992 900 and one on a 1989 Porsche 944. I'm thinking the 9000 will fall between these two in difficulty (as will almost all clutch jobs).
