It seems pointless to replace so many things that might not even be wrong.
I would do the rear main if possible...only becuase its life is a limited number and being as it overheated, it might need replacement anywho..
Don't replace your oil pump unless it is bad...a waste of money...
If you want to throw cash at it go ahead and replace everything in existance that MIGHT be used rather than new but IMO it is not worth the time/effort/cash.
If the engien ran rough...pull the injectors and have them balanced (pretty cheap) but if it ran fine...don't bother.
If you are looking for a perfect new engine then yeah go ahead and fork out the cash for all this stuff that is being suggested but if you want a runner that will get the job done...replace what is failing right now (or is cheap enough to replace on principle)

I think we will rebuild the vac pump as it is key to so many things on these cars... We are not going to do the rear main seal at this point, unless it is needed.
The engine ran strong and only has 160k, not sure how long it sat out of the original car so we are going to use a little marvel oil on the pistons/rings to get them conditioned.
Thanks!
