Things I did on mine during the HG job recently (aside from what you've already mentioned)
radiator
all hoses
180 degree thermostat
crank sensor (was easier to get to so I figured why not)
upper intake gasket
TB heater kit/TB gasket
crank seal
front cover gasket
oil pan gasket
pickup tube o-ring
oil filter adapter o-ring
oil separator
exhaust manifold outlet studs/nuts and outlet gaskets
head bolts (I'm sure you already know to replace these)
condenser fan motor
plus quite a few other things not really related to the job at hand, so I won't get into those.
