Anything else I should replace?

I'll be tackling my intake o-ring replacement. I plan on replacing the thermostat and water pump as well. All hoses including bypass were replaced 2 years ago, so they should be be good. Anything else I should replace while I have the top off the keg? I have and will keep all emission items and rats nest.
Thanks

heater hoses that go into the fire wall, the hose under the beehive oil cooler, the air hose that goes to the air pump, air pump hoses,

and when watch the 1/2 inch (about) aluminum tube that goes from the engine to the oil cooler, it is easy to twist when tightening to the engine.

ps.... why not new clutch hydraulics and the rubber hose , and replace the master brake cylinder...and and hit the engine bay rust with por-15....replace all the rat's next hoses with brightly colored yellow lines from Mazda Trix!!

...just my experiences.....and the moment when you're back on the road and get every thing sorted out, it is better than sex!

Already done all vacuum lines, and rubber hoses have been replaced and the clutch master and hose (really crappy job to do). Clutch will be a separate endeavor down the road.

I'm sure I'll be back once I dive in this weekend. Hopefully I can get all this done in the next few weekends.
