so i should have the actual trigger piece, the e clip, the pin the e clip hooks on to, the wire bar spring from the side. do i need to take the screw tentioner for the spring off also?

I haven't ever actually looked at the SSS trigger, but unless installing it requires you to remove the tension adjustment screw, you might as well leave it where it is.

keeps it from falling out some day with out the spring to hold it from rotating.

You will have to notch the trigger bracket ...

Look at the two pictures in BlueAdvengers post, top picture has a notch in the back of the trigger bracket, bottom does not.

Notch is required to mount SSS trigger.

Also, trigger gaurd will require removal of some materal so that the SSS trigger will clear.

Just an FYI as these two things surprised me on my first SSS trigger install.

i have heard before about the notch. the trigger material if it where a problem where would that be in the gaurd or the housing?

The trigger will come with instructions how to notch the trigger bracket / hanger.

The trigger housing itself sometimes hits the trigger guard when you try and install the stock after installing the new trigger.

You have to remove some material from the trigger guard also.
