Timing belt, water pump, what else?

I'm getting the timing belt and water pump changed on my 98Si this week and I was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at replacing.

I was wondering about things like...
-thermostat
-valve cover gasket (cover is off anyway)
-P/S and alternator belts
-fuel filter
-EGR valve

Oh, and I'm getting a new Exedy Organic clutch from Astroboy for a price cheaper then OEM and "maybe" KVR rotors/pads in the future.

There is no egr on a 98civic. Just change the water pump t belt and check the crank and cam seals while you are there.

If the valve cover seal is still in good shape just put it back on.. Clean it first, then oil it up before putting it back.

Check the belts for wear. If in doubt, replace.....

Dont oil the rocker cover, clean both surfaces and put some ultra grey in the corners of the gasket, where it goes around the cam. only put it on one side though.
