motor mounts will most likely need to be replaced. at a minimum, the rear one.



check the harness, and make sure that it is in proper condition.



upgrade the pump, trust me, you'll need it soon.



new clutch, especially if you have a lot of miles.....



vacuum hose, zip ties, and angled hose pliers....



there are plenty more....
