Question Parts needed for changing radiator/water pump.

Hello, I will be having my radiator/water pump/timing belt changed soon. I would like to know what parts are needed as far a gaskets etc. So far I have

water pump
timing belt
water pump gasket
water pump seal.

Do I need anymore? If so what are they?

As for the raditor I have not yet ordered one. I would like to know if there is any advantage to having the aluminum/copper alloy one that motorsport warehouse sells. I realize that there is no plastic involved, but does the alloy one present any weight problems. Does any one know how much it weighs. I would like to order all the rest of the parts that I need at the same time, so that I can try to have my svx back on the road shortly after new years.

Thanks,
--Miles

I ordered the thermostat gasket since that mounts on the water pump. I also ordered the front crank seal and cam seals. It was a good thing I did as they were really hard and needed replacing. I ordered the oil pump o-ring so that I could remove the oil pump to inspect it and also it is easy to remove the main seal once you have the oil pump out. I also ordered the two little coolant hoses that come off the water pump since they were getting pretty old and would be easily replaced when I was in there that far.

Get new upper and lower radiator hoses, new radiator cap (spring loses tension over the years and can reduce the pressure in the system whcih lowers the boiling point of the coolant). Replace the thermostat.
