Not necessarily the upper A-arms. They rarely fail - but the upper A-arm bushings are good candidates for replacement with the engine out if they're marginal.
Really good candidtates for replacement with the engine out are the main pulley, front seal, oil pump O-ring, alternator bushings, rear crankshaft oil seal.
Then there's the flywheel pilot bearing.
Check the alternator brushes - they'll never be easier to access than when you're replacing the bushings.
Check the water pump shaft for looseness. If it's loose, replace the pump.
Motor mounts come to mind as candidates for checking.
If the transmission isn't a rebuilt unit, replace the primary shaft seal.
These are good things to check first. No doubt there will be lots of other good suggestions.
