W126 5.6L intake rubber, gaskets to replace?

Well I have a bunch of goodies coming next week. All new rubber hoses and such for on top the intake is part of the order. Most if this stuff is rock hard now due to years of heat and oil exposure. While this will take care of the visible and easy to get to items, I am wondering if there are any things I should consider replacing on the intake manifold itself.

Dont get me wrong, I dont like tossing parts at a car for the fun of it. But I prefer peace of mind knowing something will not go sometime soon. And I noticed some a clamp and some fitting down under the idle air valve area. So I figure I may as well get to all of it by spring.
