Replacing Intake Manifold. What other age related items to replace while in there?

I'm about to replace the intake manifold due to the coolant leak near the thermostat. Since I am going to drain the coolant, I figure might as well replace any other aged parts. Let me know if I am overlooking any other parts. Thanks

Already replaced coils, spark plugs and belt about 3 years ago.

So far I plan on replacing:
-heater hoses both inlet and outlet
  • upper and lower radiator hoses
  • water pump
  • thermostat and gasket

You might want to replace heater hoses and do a coolant flush?

Thanks, I plan on doing both. I usually flush coolant every 30K miles or few years.
