Parts? Well, I guess if the hoses are original, I'd think of replacing
them.  Same with any sensor in the radiator (I'm not familiar enough
with it to know).

I don't think a radiator is like a timing belt, where you want to
replace the water pump and other bits because of the nature of the
job. That is, you could replace the hoses later without a lot of
hassle. That water pump, you'd be doing the t-belt job over again.
