Default Maintenance inquiry

I'm looking to do a few important maintenance tasks under my hood.
1) Camshaft position sensor (Critical, due to recent stalling events)
2) Thermostat (Long overdue)
3) Plugs & maybe wires.
4) Various hoses (Intake, vacuum & cooling)

I'm looking to make it an afternoon/weekend project.
My question is...
What other maintenance items should I consider?

I'm already going to have the upper intake off so I can change the sensor, plus I'll have the coolant drained.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Replace the plastic screw on the top of the radiator. Some have suggested the radiator cap.

As long as you will have the intake off, check the vacuum hoses that go to the injectors. They will probably be cracked.

Number 2:
