R50/53 Supercharger Oil Service - What else can be done while apart?

I just completed my SC service about 4 days ago myself. While I had the front end apart I replaced my SC pulley with a Craven 15% pulley, replaced water pump and flange, replaced thermostat housing and 'stat, Belt Tensioner, Idler, ATI Super Damper, and a new radiator cooling fan. Oh, colder spark plugs and a new serpentine belt to boot. With the front end opened up all these parts are a piece of cake to get to and replace. Your gonna have a blast!

You should at least do the supercharger inlet gasket

outlet gasket

and water pump

Other than that the labor on other parts doesn't overlap much. But with 90k I would for sure do an ATI damper as the stock ones are way to common to fail.

What about changing the oil pan gasket? I have a very small weep around the oil pan gasket now, that was recommended to have changed by a dealer, but I didn't want to pay the extravagant labor price at the time. No puddles on the ground, so leak is very minimal. I imagine with the front end apart, may as well change it if its easy to get to then.
