I would also purchase new water pump bolts, there are only three of them, since most of the threads become corroded due to water leaks and can cause damaged threads upon reinstall. Like everyone else said, except crank seal isnt too much of a DIY due to the tools needed to retorque, but its a good thing to replace if the mileage is high.
The rotor is a good maintenance item "while you are in there".

There's also an o-ring that goes around the outside of the cam shaft retainer. Make sure to replace that to. I didn't know about it when I did mine, and the f**ing thing is weeping oil now.

def. do new water pump bolts, one of mine broke while reinstalling i had to drill it out, and tap it. ofcourse it got drilled out to large by the person who removed it. so now i have a situation to deal with. tap it with a larger bolt or get a helicoil or some sort.

Water pump pulley holder tool if you don't have one already.
