Holy goop in the intake, Batman! Your timing for doing the top end is pretty good, it seems. I agree about doing the oil cooler seals. This is also a good time to replace the AAV considering where it sits. I'd leave the head studs - they'll go for two headgaskets' worth of torquing - and replace the nuts.
The gubbins in the middle of the photo is an air valve that kicks open when you fire up the air conditioning.
Have fun - I'll bet you'll be truly amazed at how good the bores look. Mine were just about perfect, even after at least 150,000 miles.
