Good list Jim. My comments....

I only suggest replacing the seals if they are leaking. Good to have on hand but only replace if the existing seal is bad. I found this out the hard way.

Harmonic balancers bolts should be fine. Not going to hurt though. Also, the radiator hoses could probably be replaced every other t-belt change (120k miles).
