Not to put a damper on your choice of tranmissions, but what driveshafts will you use? You will find that the original 73 shafts will be too long, and you can't use 75- shafts with your hubs/spindles. The 73 shafts will bolt up, but will bottom out in the cups when you take it for a test drive, making the whole car shake(ask me how I know).
'73 front wheel bearing really don't require a press like the later style, but it would be useful to press out the driveshaft from the hub. I destroyed a few shafts trying to pound them out of the hub - ruined the end where the spindle nut threads on. If you had an air chisel with a sharp pointed tool, you could use that to drive the shaft out.
When you take the fuel pump apart, be sure to inspect the "ring" for cracks.
