When replacing the outer longitudinal what can I expect for issues, keeping the car aligned? removal of old? refitting new ect.. I am asking prior to attempting for the first time so treat me as an ignorant. I do not want to miss align or have the car sag in half on me or something like that..

Leave the top on. Remove the door. Add bracing to the door opening. Ideally a triangle from the striker plate to the upper front mount to the upper seat-belt mount. Do all that while the car is still on the ground. If you make the bracing adjustable, you can re-measure while you're working on the long and adjust if needed.
Dimensions are here: http://www.914world.com/specs/bodydims.php http://www.914world.com/specs/underdims.php When welding large parts, try to move around to different spots to let your welds cool. Too much heat in one spot will shrink the metal. Do a search here, there are a few very good step by step pictorials of a complete long replacement.
