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.

I would add new tires onto the list as well. depending on how it "sat" tires could be old, worn, dried, cracked and would definitely have flat spots on them.
