Default First time rebuild - 90 Civic Dx

I have a 1990 Civic DX which i am planning to rebuild. The engine has about 300,000 miles and smokes a little. The car is still driveable, but i'd like to go ahead and fix most everything in one swoop while the engine is out of the car for a clutch replacement.
As far as the engine is concerned, I am planing on replacing the valve seals, gaskets, pistons, and rings.

Any suggestions on other items i should replace (should i replace the valvestems, springs, etc...?)

I am also considering buying a rebuild kit here: http://www.importperformancepa...lUPYQ

Good plan, but items like the mechanical parts in the head you should be fine with. Anything that has the word "Pump" in its name, you should change though.
