to be honest your haynes manual covers what you need.
and it all depends on what needs doing
but basic imperial sockets and spanners and a couple of suitable torque wrenches. an assortment of measuring devices. and then there are some special tools. fly wheel puller, piston ring compressor. fly wheel lock. and the big sockets for the big bolts.

If you're buying sockets look for some six sided ones. They're especially useful for those highly torqued ones that are easy to round off with 12 sided sockets.
but some of the nuts are 12 pointed.

Probably the biggest thing that hits home when someone takes on a "restoration project" is the amount of tools required to do the job. Someone who does not have a decent range of tools and "garage equipment" will soon find themselves spending as much buying these items than what they'll do on actual parts. Also regarding the measuring items also being able to use them correctly. I can barely use a rule correctly!
