The big overhall: How far should I go?

Tranny on my '95 Aero with 194,000 crapped out--clutch was slipping also, so....I'm biting the bullet and going with a rebuilt (Saabsite..) and clutch/pp/slave cyl. Also going to tidy up the handling with fresh Bilstein HD's; various bushings (control arms, sway bars, ball joints).
Since I am commited to resurecting the car (the motor is super strong...), but I'm told headgasket oil leaks slightly--the only oil it uses apparently (about 3000 mile per qt.), should I keep going and do the headgasket and possibly the timing chain? Is it economical to do this from a labor standpoint while all this is going on? I found an independent mechanic that will work for 25 bucks an hour...
Thanks.
