Default Have I forgotten anything? (HCI checklist)

So I'm doing my HCI in two weeks. I made a list of everything I need and I've checked it over a million times now...I have everything but want to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. So this is where I am and what I have:

-GT40P heads, new valves, seals, TFS springs, etc...
-Explorer upper and lower intakes
-B cam
-Assembly lube
-Full intake manifold gasket set (lower intake gaskets, upper intake gasket, front and rear seals, and some o rings)
-Timing cover gasket set (two water pump gaskets, timing cover gasket, oil seal, cork oil pan corner gaskets)
-Head gaskets
-Valve cover gaskets
-Trick flow adjustable timing chain set
-Hardened stock length pushrods
-BBK Chrome unequal shorties (new, new headers, bolts, etc...)
-ARP head bolts
-Belt
-Oil and coolant

I lost my list so I'm probably forgetting a few things from it. Thanks all, it's a big help!

What you guys have told me I need:
-Throttle body gasket set

Should probably change all your coolant hoses and the t-stat. Also, you are gonna need a new T/B gasket set.

Thermostat is only about a thousand miles old. Good call on the TB gasket, though. I'll add that.

Depending on age check out the harmonic balancer and water pump.

Just a heads up, I'm not sure if foxes are different but both I and another kid i know tried to use a trickflow timing chain on our SN95s and neither fit correctly.

Water pump is new, don't know about balancer. I'm sure it's fine. Why wouldn't the timing set fit for you? I'm getting it from a kid who put a trick flow top end kit on and didn't use it.

That is what I've got.

dont get arp head bolts, get head studs. they allow you to torque the head down more accurately and provide better clamping force.

Well for me when i tightened it down the camshaft still had a ton of endplay, the kid i know had the same problem so he put a spacer in there and then it wouldnt even turn over, it was just jammed, so idk man, maybe thats why the guy you're getting it from didnt use it.
