Hi Tim,
I forgot to mention I have 107 packages installed from aur as well. I
used yaourt to install most of them and used makepkg for a few in the
beginning of this system's life. I am pretty sure aur/ will appear to
the left of those packages so I'll probably just need to put a duplicate
line for reinstallation using yaourt in the script as was done with
pacman to reinstall those aur packages.

using archlinux, did you find out how to get a listing of all
software installed on a system?
You should be able to use
pacman -Qqen > installed_packages.txt
you can the copy/move that file in a directory that you won't
overwrite (such as your $HOME if it's on its own partition, or an
external drive)
When I do a reinstall, I want to be able to have all packages
installed on the new system that were on the old system before
reinstallation. I may end up writing a script and have the script
do the post-installs for me before I do the reinstall.
If you have the package-list generated above, you can use
pacman -S $(< installed_packages.txt)
to re-install the same packages that were previously installed.
