May as well do the whole camkit on the replacement 16v engine, as it's easier with the engine out.

Cambelt, clutch, oil, air etc filters, new gearbox oil, new mounts use th 19 4th gearbox mount
I'd also get a 2.0 bottom end for more power and there cheap so new head gasget for that.

Also depends but I'd look at binning all unnessessary wiring to make it easier so no fogs no PAS battery in boot. Lighten the front end no ends
New coolent and oil pumps won't be a bad idea.
