Should match up with out a problem. Just do the usual maintenance you would do while the tranny is out i.e., replace the throw out bearing, pilot bushing, etc.

Word of caution. Be careful when you change the pilot bushing. When I replaced mine, I guess the copper deformed a little when I tapped it in with a hammer, and then when I tried to mount up the tranny, we had a BITCH of a time getting the tranny to match up as the input shaft wouldn't go in. In hind sight, I would make sure that I had an old input shaft to use as an alignment tool, not that crappy plastic tool they sell. I would make sure the input shaft fits well before I would try to mount up the tranny. Or, I might just leave the pilot bushing alone or use the NISMO roller bushing instead. Just my 2 cents.
