So that balancer gave you no warning? Was there oil on it, as in a leaky front main seal?
The voltage regulator is a first class idea, because the brushes are part of the assembly, and I'm surprised they haven't worn out yet. There are very cheap aftermarket parts and the $40+ Bosch part... the guys at Import Parts Specialists strongly advised me to go with the Bosch. I trust 'em and I did that. There's a procedure on my Web site; pretty easy job.
The hoses, certainly. And do a fush 'n' fill while you're at it. The water pump sounds a bit extreme, but I use Bar's Leaks and that gives me confidence. Generally, water pumps start leaking or getting noisy long before they fail catastropically.
Shift coupler if it's never been replaced. Ten bucks, well worth it (I did mone when the trans was out so it was easy ... shouldn't be too hard with the trans in place).
Take a good look at the CV joint boots; replace any cracked ones.
You should be good to go after that.
