Which is correct:
"there are a few minor guidelines you would have to remember" or "there are a few minor guidelines THAT you would have to remember"
Thanks.

They're both fine, but I perfer the use of conjunctions, though, because they tend to lessen ambiguity.

@librax,
Why use "would"? It's redundant. And I'd prefer which to that.
But simpler is better in my book. So,
"there are a few minor guidelines you have to remember", (unless there's a conditional element in the wider context).

@McTag,
Yeah, I agree. "Would" is superfluous there.

@oristarA,
Unless, as McTag pointed out, there's a conditional element in the context.
Read that way, "would"
would
be necessary and not superfluous.
