In retrospect, while you're doing the five speed swap....
Here's what I got:
Engine mounts
Crank pulley
Here's what I missed:
Oil pump and gasket (leaks beginning around 200k most of the time)
Upper control arm bushings
PS lines, if old
Remove the AC evaporator, if interested (none of my cars have AC anymore, and I think it's really pushing it with a convertible)
Front shocks, if needed (they last 135k or so) (much nicer on an ABS car)
Food for thought. Although I got my evaporators out the fun way, I just eclipsed 200k and the bushings are original, and finally starting to squeak just a little. My oil pump gasket is just barely starting to seep; no complaints but it can only get worse. I'd at least throw a new gasket on it (and prime the pump, of course) since there are pressurized oil lines running through the paper gasket. After so many heat and cool cycles, it just goes.
