Pulling engine to repaint engine bay. Any suggestions of what to do while im in there

88 n/a with a 91 n/a block

Ill be installing;
a new radiator
a villager Electric fan
a new alternator
a new master cylinder
Poly motor mounts
Scrubbing down the block
Re wrapping the harness
removing emissions related wiring
replacing vac hoses again
Repainting manifolds

Im open to suggestions just about every wear item has been replaced atleast once so its more on the modification side of things.

thanks
