Your plan sounds good. I get half that with my 91 (same body style).

You are missing intended use though (city, highway, tow, hauling, etc).

A manual will gain some due to a direct drive without a pump. What is your wife's opinion of this though?
I would add:
-Deeper air dam
-The '82 year heads w/ studs
-Remove any excess weight (3rd row, roll pan, etc)
-Ride height reduction (plus the rest of the 100+ ideas page)
-Smooth wheel covers
-91 mirrors or delete
-Set of tires off a Tahoe hybrid

The biggie would be the horrible underside of these rigs.
