Timing chain, water pump, and headgasket if your really feeling ambitious, oh and the clutch.

Oil pump drive gear yes... IIRC those were plastic or composite on some years.

Why do you have the motor out?

Replace the oil pump and water pump with a AC delco brand and do the rear cam carrier seals. Replace the timing assembly components and replace the housing/cover gaskets. That is the bare minimum I would do while it's out.
