So, 1995 rig, not much done by PO to judge from all-original hoses (replaced what I could reach), cracked spindle (replaced), blown wheel bearings (replaced w/seals). Already did plugs/wires/dizzy cap/rotor/o-ring/seals, VC gasket, PCV valve & grommet, HCV.
Going to replace front main seal b/c of oil leak, and replace radiator just because (it's been there since 2006 I think) What else should I be doing while I'm in there?
Adding to list as new answers come in so this can serve as future reference source. @Mad4Rnr got me started on the P/Ns...
TO-DO LIST:
Front main seal (90311-52022 / Seal Type T Oil)
Radiator (Ron Davis / built to order)
Water pump (16100-69325 / Water Pump Assembly) [Using AISIN part from Rock Auto]
Thermostat (90916-03117 / Thermostat)
Any newly-reachable hoses (unknown at this point)
Oil pump cover o-ring (15188-66020 / Gasket)
Oil pump cover screws (15183-66020 x7 / Screw)
-Replace cover screws with hex-heads? (Need spec.
More likely to over-tighten and crack housing?)
Blue fan clutch (BFC-1 / Wits' End P/N)
Fan clutch hardware (BFC-2 / Wits' End P/N)
Fan (16361-66020 / Fan blade) [insurance against old one grenading into radiator]
Install supercharger pulley (to keep my options open)?
Idler pulley/bearing
A/C idler pulley/bearing
New tranny cooler lines
New power steering lines
New coolant lines
New belts
Panhard bushings (DS eaten by leaking oil; both original)
Fuel filter?
SPECIAL TOOLS
3/4" breaker bar
30mm socket
Rope or wire-core plastic line for breaker bar tie-down
2" PVC coupling to press main seal into place (per TexasKnowHow)
Impact wrench for oil pump cover screws (if can't get off with JIS or #3 bit and socket wrench or breaker bar; try heating screws up with torch if need be)
Screw extractor kit in case screws break off
305 ft-lb torque wrench or equivalent for crank pulley bolt
...
A/C not working; smelled PAG oil for a while. Anything on that easier to do with this other stuff out of the way?
...
What else should I be looking at?
