Gates. Anything else is a waste
Replace
Rad cap
Coolant
Thermostat
Upper/lower rad hose
All timing belt tensioners (gates kit will include these).
Timing belt.
Front main seal/crank seal(only if it's leaking. Otherwise leave it alone).
All drive belts (AC/ALT/PS, it's probably all one belt).

Why replace all this stuff? Well, doing this job is kind of a ***** because it's a FWD car. Would hate to see you blow the engine because something cheap like a 5$ radiator hose bursts.
