clutch, pressure plate, throwout (release) bearing.  probably the pilot
bearing too.

Yes, now is the easiest time and they're only about $30.

Hmm, that one doesn't ring a bell, though I suppose it is slightly
easier to get to.

You should definitely replace the rear main and tranny input seals while
they are exposed.  Also a great time for new tranny mounts of course.

Um, what else?  Your OXS will be easy to get to as it ever will be...
plan on reassembling the exhaust with stainless, makes life easier in
the future.  Grease the center driveshaft bearing while it's hanging
loose.  If any of your front CV boots are tired, pull the shafts the
rest of the way while you're in there and do them.

Some of this depends on how long you want to have the car in pieces, of
course.
