Yes, i'm a bit of a freak, i know.. I replace parts even when they are still working within specs. You dont have to go this crazy, if you dont do your own mechanic work, have the car inspected, fix what needs to be done. If you do the timing belt (wich is about every 100k km in our beautyful Canadian weather, replace the balancer belt, every seals on the front of the engine (camshaft, balancer (make sure you get the retainer installed if it's not on it yet), the water pump (have the coolant flushed at the same time). Those are time-consuming in labour charges, pay a little more to get everything done, rather than paying 30k km later to remove everything because a 10$ seal wasnt replaced.

Timing belt, water pump, tensioner, and just a leaky seal or two that you might come across. The oil pump should be fine.
