Default Throttle body port and polish now what?

I am taking some time since it's still snowing to tackle some wish list items.
I just ported and polished my throttle body
Now I am going to pull intake to clean oil and build up.
Is there anything else I should be looking at while I have this all apart?

Check the vacuum lines in back of the manifold for cracks while you have that off

Replace your oil presser sender or put in a relocation kit so the intake will not need to be removed to replace it should it fail in the future.

Replace the passenger side A.I.R. check valve located behind the intake while the intake is out, or source another drivers side line and reroute to the passenger side.

There are a lot of things you could replace if you just want to spend money.
