If I was loaded with money, I'd replace everything with new parts, but I'm not. So I need to prioritize. Since I'm getting the engine rebuilt, I figure I'd replace some other parts while I have the engine out.

So far, I will be installing a new clutch, water pump, belts, spark plugs/wires. Anything else you guys recommend replacing while I have motor out?

a bunch of the stuff on your list can be done with the motor in...

gaskets, belts and pulleys/tensioners, vac lines, both radiator hoses

Within a year of having my car the alternator and PS pump went out. Every part in your engine is rated to a certain age/mileage and with cars 20+ years old anything could go any day... Something to think about.

Crank bearings, possibly new oem pistons or forged. hone the cylinders walls down, deck the block and the head replace. all new gaskets.

metal head gasket for damn sure=]

Motor is already getting rebuilt with a metal head gasket and arp head studs. What I meant to ask is what else should I replace while I have the motor out for a rebuild.

Looks like I will add coolant hoses and vacuum lines to the list.

upgrade your knock sensor wires while the engine is out
new oil pump wouldnt be a bad idea
trans output shaft seal...make sure to clean drive shaft yoke with fine grit sand paper and soak the sand paper in atf before sanding
honestly while its apart i would replace every gasket that i could so i didnt have to do it later like intake gaskets, tb gasket and pretty much all of them lol
timing belt should be replaced and possibly the belt tensioner if its a little worn out
