s* dude...while you are in that far you might as well put in rings and bearings. while it is not necessary to separate engine/trans to do trans at 160k you are due for a full resealing. do your main seal and clutch and oil filter mount. lower rad hose easy with engine out. tear down head and inspect guides. at least do a light lap on valves and new valve seals. now is the time to set it straight for another 100k. worst case is you can pull the engine and drop it in another later knowing it is in good shape if car gets wrecked. if car is really clean put in a new rack ( 150$ ) and an anti-swaybar.
it all depends on your budget. do as much as you can afford to do...and then a little more. pulling/teardown and cleanup is a huge part of the job. leverage that to the fullest extent possible.
