I also assume you used all elements of the theatrical and director’s cut…?

Yes that is what I used. the only parts I used from the Director’s Cut where the Cocoon Scene and the Alien and cat scene

Actually, in the director’s cut, these scenes are longer:

12:39 Min. - 14:14 Min. The Nostromo Crew is examining the mysterious signal more precisely. It sounds strange. It is neither a radio signal nor is it a voice. But the crew finds out which planet the signal comes from.

34:24 Min. - 34:36 Min. Kane is examining the egg more accurately. The facehugger moves. Then, there is a take of Kane bowing to the right with a gun in his hand. The last part of this shot is not in the DC, but in the Theatrical Version, but the main part of the take with Kane bowing is missing in the latter. (Might have to get quick snippets of each to get longest scene, which I would love)

37:43 Min. - 38:32 Min. The crew without Ripley is looking through a glass window into the laboratory. Parker is wondering how Kane can breathe and suggests to freeze the facehugger. Ripley comes down the ladder, Lambert goes for her and slaps her (because Ripley wouldn’t open the lock before). The men get the women apart. Parker says that Ripley hadn’t been wrong.

66:37 Min. - 67:02 Min. In the DC the dropping of the condensed water on Brett’s face in the room with the chains is being interrupted by a short ceilingshot of the lurking alien. Then another part of the close-up to the face. Again, an DC-exclusive take of the alien hanging on the chains. Now facetake part 3 from the Theatrical Version (but strongly cut, so you’d need the longer quick cut from theatrical), again followed by a new ceilingshot with the alien observing Brett.

67:53 Min. - 68:09 Min. After Brett’s screams Ripley and Parker come running into the room with the chains. They’re looking for Brett. When Parker looks up, blood drips on him.

77:02 Min. - 71:09 Min. After the shortened take of Lambert from the TC you can see Ripley stand up and then again Lambert. The DC then begins later compared to the Theatrical Cut, when Ripley already goes to Mother’s door, while in the TC you can still see the thing with the key card.

94:17 Min. - 96:07 Min. Ripley climbs down a ladder and ends up in a room in which Dallas is weaven on the wall as a host for the alien. Dallas whimpers for his death. Ripley grants his wish with the help of the flamethrower.

There are a couple of scenes that require quick snippets from Theatrical Cut to get longest cut, but they are there. I’d love to see this project to completion. If I can help in any way, I’ll be glad to. Just let me know.
