You need to find a factory service manual for that car. It will have everything you need. You can find book or cd style on Ebay.

I used the parts book more than anything, it has exploded diagrams of every subassembly.

Parts book and manual.
You can get the parts book on dvd pretty cheaply. You can get reprints of the factory service manual.
If you can find a good deal on an original manual, get it. Makes life a lot easier. The reprinted manuals don't have the resolution of the original ones. Some of the photos are tough to make out.

Depending on how much assembly you're talking about, I would find someone that has done it before and pick their brain. The factory manuals help for info on a single area but they don't do too much for establishing a correct sequence for a total assembly job.

Resto Rick (sponser here) has an assembly sequence on his website that is really good.
