Things to do while engine is out

There was a thread on this topic posted earlier this year, but after an hour of searching I have not found it.

I am planning an engine drop on my 1979 911 SC, the car has close to 300k miles on it and is tracked. While in there, I plan to do the following:

- Clutch
- Valve adjustment
- Check for vacuum leaks (which I know there are plenty of)
- Change worn cams (probably)

The car runs poorly (seems like it's on 5 cylinders while at low engine speeds - ignition appears to be working fine though), so I am hoping that between the air leaks and the cam/valve adjustment I might solve the problem. To be diligent, what else does everyone advise I should do while the engine is out?

Thank you.
