Yes to all you mentioned.  Depending on the mileage and general condition of
the van you might want to check into all the rubber hoses (fuel, coolant,
etc.) that won't be replaced with the engine.  The TiiCo website says you can
reuse your injectors, pressure regulator, and exhaust system (2.1L only) but
it seems to me that it's kind of a false economy to reuse relatively
inexpensive pieces with a brand new engine.  Since you'll end up with a bit
more power make sure your brakes are real good too.

What else should I replace besides the clutch while it
is opened up? CV's, injectors, exhaust? Thanks for the
help in advance...
