Pulling the engine, what to check or replace

Check everything you can and replace everything that's leaky basically lol. Usual serviceable items such as plugs, belts, pumps, crank pulley, main seals, gaskets...the list goes on really. Vac hoses can be brittle by now, especially if they've been on the car since new. So I'd check each of them for splits as it'll be difficult to chase once the engine etc is all back in.

Are you TT or going NA-T? From what I can make out, it's NA-T so the engine could really be doing with a good once over before it's boosted. Especially the spark side of things so definitely new plugs, leads and potentially a fresh coil (they're still quite cheap). Or just ditch the distributor and go smart coils if you have the time and money to do it now.

Meant to say coil, not igniter (see edit history)
