I think the biggest question is time. If need the car back on the road X day you want to pre-buy tools, which will lead to some over and under buying. If not I'd say as long as you have a good set of metric tools (which you must if you did a 911 clutch) and Amazon account or other source of reasonably fast delivery tools... get started!

Specialty tools I needed for my 964's top end included (not all were 100% necessary and 993 will be a bit diff)

Pulley holder for torquing crank nut
Torque wrench up to ~180ft lbs for crank nut (can't recall exact number)
Long hex keys to get to heat exchanger barrel nuts (993 will differ)
Dial indicator holder and chain tension pre-setter to time cams (borrowed stomski)
Stud puller (I changed head studs)
Piston ring expander and compressor (I changed rings)
