Water pump is purported to have been replaced about 10K ago. May roll the dice on that. I would assume the sundry camshaft seals would be in the head gasket set, no?
I intended to do a full FOES on this, and had forgotten balance shaft and front main seal. Thank you! The sleeve is a "wait and see" for me. if it's grooved that'll be in parts order #2, which I fully expect.
Fuel lines. Hmmm. Probably smart.

More than likely you are going to need a replacement camshaft bolt, they strip very easily.
Additionally, removing the belts is a good opportunity to do the front main seal, the balance belt seals and the oil pump sleeve also.
I would also consider replacing the fuel supply and return lines, and the fuel rail to damper line too. You will be disturbing those and they run directly over the exhaust header.
