Fuel filter, air filter, and pcv valve.
As to the opti and waterpump, if the car is running fine that is going a little crazy on a tune up. My '93 opti lasted me until last year(upped the rev limiter) and I'm still using the original waterpump. You might just try all the rest of the stuff and wait on the opti/pump until you need them. It seems that once they get replaced the first time they start failing all over the place. You have the good opti anyways, save your money.

The three oil seals on the timing cover: waterpump, opti & balancer.
You don't need to pull the cover in order to do it.
Take a look at you PS hose, it easier to replace when everything is apart.
