I don't have a right up. but I will give you some tips. Hopefully you have someone that has set up gears before helping you.

Get a Pinion gear set up kit from Precision Gear. www.precisiongear.com/setupkits.htm This will help you set your pinion depth.
I measured every shim and wrote there dimensions on them with a sharpie this will really help on the carrier shims. Keep the shims clean also if you get dirt in between 2 of them it could screw up your measuring.
Get a couple different color Paint markers because if takes you more than 1 whole revolution to make sure the gears are messing correctly you can switch to a different color and not be confused where you were
Take your time! You will be much happier if you do it right the first time. The gears come with directions that should be pretty good

there is a guy at my work who owns a camaro and he's doing a rear end gear swap. it doesn't look all that complex...

but it is one of those things that looks like it's worlds easier with a lift

They had a great write-up with pictures in last months Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, check their website. Or ask a friend who has a subscription.
