I'll be pulling the ALH in the spring to perform a swap into a 96 Audi S6, and plan on doing a full service.
So far I'm thinking Deluxe TB kit, all seals, new head gasket, gasket match the head and intake/exhaust manifold (while checking turbo for play. Can the VNTs be rebuilt?). I just replaced all of my vacuum lines, so that's good to go. Fuel lines will be replaced on the S6 (common as they corrode). Of course all filters will be changed - no brainer...
What else should I be looking to replace while it's out and easily serviceable? I'll be checking the cams for wear, but last time I did the TB, at about 360k, they looked great.
