Yes, you MUST check alignment of bellhousing to the crank centerline, a magnetic base and cheapy dial indicator from harbor freight will do it if you get the three piece articulating arm (with only flywheel on crank not press-plate).
Also, check the depth that your input shaft goes into the bellhousing after the clutch and pressure plate are bolted up.
Make sure of the following distances using a piece of dowel or rod stock and a straight edge:
input shaft bottoming in end of crank
input shaft engaging into pilot bushing
input shaft splines engaging disk
input collar not touching disk's splines
Then setup the TO bearing for proper distance to clutch fingers.
