Wow, hella good list John. I find it amazing that you can fit all this under the seat, including the pump. I want photos of it all ready to have the seat put back on. Stock seat or Sargent? 
   
  Echoing Matt's comment about the socket for the rear SSSA, I would include, a T-55, the appropriate hex for the front wheel removal and some chain lube.
