If you're really only going to keep the frame and barrel (and the slide, I hope! :-), you're going to want a shop manual like what Jerry Kuhnhausen wrote. I have his 1911 book and a couple of others and highly recommend them.
dcody40, yes, Taurus' 1911 is pretty much a clone. One of my brothers has one and I've had it completely torn apart. For the most part his has been pretty reliable.
+1 on Jim's comment on the safety. Unless you're a lefty you'll save yourself a bunch of trouble if you ditch the ambi safety and use a standard, right-hand only one. Getting the left-hand side off is a real pain on my brother's gun.
