Default Anything else I should change with engine out and upper oil pan removed?

So eventually(hopefully before end of this summer) I am planning to pull the engine out of my G and Paint the engine bay. I also am getting another front and rear timing cover powdercoated to replace the current color front timing cover I have on. I am going to probably start the wire tuck this weekend in preparation.

I have all the seals for the front/rear timing cover, will change engine mounts and I have a small rear main seal leak, So I would like to change it while in that far. Are there any other parts I should change while I have that off?

Car has 65k, was procharged, now just ztube/popcharger, exhaust, lightweight clutch/flywheel. Maybe will go FI again in the future but it would be a while if so.

Weld in a fitting for oil drain above oil level! When you put in a low mount turbo with oil scavenge pump, you will have the hard part done!

I may consider doing other things while in there. Just not clear on bearing sizing except that once its open there is a letter code to determine the size..
