Front, rear, and oil pan seals. Pull the timing chain guides if they are still there. Clean the IACV on the back of the engine. It's so much easier to do that stuff while the engine is out of the bay. Maybe even a clutch if you think it may need it.

Also remove the EGr now.Probably go ahead and replace all your vaccum lines.Cheap and it's just insurance and saves you time.
