Changing Timing Belt and water pump/ should I change anything else?

I am getting ready to change timing belt on my integra LS at 101,000 miles. Besides Timing belt and water pump, is there anything else I should be looking at changing right now when I am spending to open up my car?

I learned that alternator belt/A/cbelt may also need replacement.
any help will be appreciated
thanks

Typically that would be all but considering you dont know how it was maintained in the past, treat her right. Do a compression and leak down test. Check your coolant, when was the last time your car was aligned?

Its good to get what you can done or should I say killing two birds with one stone.

This however is just to name a few basic maintenance routines.

Timing belt tensioner for sure. it might sound stupid but I have seen them fail.
Simple maintenience things like
Dis. Cap / Rotor
Spark plugs
Fuel filter
Air Filter
Oil Filter
Check / bleed brakes
Check coolant or perform coolant flush
Valve adjustment
Tranmission fluid change
Cam end seal if you are pre OBD-2

there is nothing thats is just so simple that youll pass over, and kick yourself later for not doing it.

However, if you can afford to have the car out a day longer or so. Install a new headgasket.

The hardest part isnt getting to installing, its the reassembly that is usually difficult, with the engine in the car still. Like timing belt covers and rubber crap that goes with it. Youll never want to do it again.
