Belts
Water pump
Thermostat and plastic pipes
Hydra mount change
Lower mount change
Breather gauzes in rocker covers
Front of engine oil leak ( there will be one)
3 speed fan
Condenser change
All service items including spark plugs
Starter motor fit new brushes
Slam panel- strip bonnet catches clean out and re lubricate
Deep clean engine bay
Check all clutch components. I would change them as the engine is out.

Others will be along in a bit to add I suspect.

Are you taking the engine out the front or lifting it out over the radiator?

Check condition of front brake pipes and replace if needed. Much much easier with engine clear.
