The Jute is original but not really a good heat insulator. If you are  
looking to block as much heat as you can I would recomend using  
Dynamat on the entire  floor first rather than the tar paper. Include  
covering the transmission tunnel and vertical panel on both sides as  
well as behind the front kick panels especialy on the drivers side.  
Then use Dynaliner on the floor in front of the seats and foot box  
area. There really is no need to install any insulation under the  
seats it will interfere with the seat tracks.

I now have put on my fire suit because there are probably 1000  
different opinions about this.
