Hello guys I have just get an ST205 that has been sitting for 6 years. I assume the reason was put aside is the clutch is in bad condition. Before remove the engine and transmission what you guys suggest to have in mind. I 've never had a car that was sitting for so long period of time therefore I need some ideas as to what parts I must have before pulling everything apart. Mainly engine components.
I know I should have:

timing belt
2 inner tensioners and the hydraulic one
cam seals
crankshaft seals front and rear
Oil pump seals and gasket
thermostat
water pump
perhaps I will need the valve cover gasket as well
alternator -air con belt and tensioner
power steering pump, tensioner

gearbox and transfer box seals
release bearing
clutch-pressure plate

The engine will be removed from the car therefore I want to change possible causes that may cause issues, especially those which are located in hard to reach areas and would be a pain to be replaced when the engine and transmission is back on the car.

Thank you in advance, and looking forward for you suggestions.

Thanks guys!
Difinately all fluids will be replaced! I have also replaced the tires and I m ordering genuine fuel filter, complete overhaul gasket kit, waterpump, timing belt, idler gears and tensioner as well as gearbox and tranferbox seals. I will be ordering later on some seals for the rear diff and perhups an aftermarket kit I have found from tcb to replace all the hoses if necessary. I also added oem thermostat and toyota cooland, will be replacing the radiator cap too. As for my shocks are aftermarket adjustable coilovers so I may rebuild them if necessary. I will be replacing my clutch but using a new oem release bearing. I was mostly after replacing things inside the engine since the rest can be done when the engine is back on the car.
Thank you all for your inputs. I will be updating as soon as I have the engine down so I may help others with similar questions.
