yes to all, but it would be beneficial to replace all. never know how well they will perform after sitting for 2 years.

I would just replace them. You can get them all for cheap other than the harmonic balancer. The oil pump and timing chain I would deff. replace.

for the $ value buy an new oil pump
gears and chain id replace too just cause its fairly cheap and again saves you from pulling it off again
