Default Engine Swap Question

Hey guys! Im putting a new 1uz with a whopping 100k miles in my sc400 here soon and wanted to ask what type of "while were here" things i should replace while swapping the motor. I'll be using the old transmission. I figure water pump, timing belt, cam seals, spark plugs, possibly engine mounts but I just wanted to come on here and ask for opinions. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Starter for sure, most seals and gaskets. Valve cover, crankshaft, rear main seal. Rebuild that power steering pump while you're at it.
