i heard a while back that the N/A transmission wasn't a good idea if you plan on making some decent power with the TT engine,

Ahh, the NA-TT swap - sadly the same conversion was done in my Datsun, so I feel your pain (ok actually Ron Tyler (
www.rontyler.com) feels your pain).
NA-TT you need about a 1/8in SPACER between the starter and bellhousing is all as you stated initially. The trannies are the same except for this minor detail. I know because I had an NA VG30DE with a TT flywheel and an NA tranny.
You probably want to add DETT front valence to the list? Other than that your list looks good.
Some really good detail about NA --> TT is here :

I've heard about breaking motor mounts but I've removed/reinstalled my DETT perhaps 6-7 times (at around 15hrs each time, ugh!) and haven't busted one yet(?).
