Default 1991 VR4 questions

I missed my chance on a 94 r/t tt that was for sale and I knew a friend of a friend that has a 91 vr4. I stopped in and talked to him yesterday and he said that he'd be willing to sell his. Here's a little background on it:
It's got 158k miles on it, and has a few mods on it; Intake (FIPK, I believe), exhaust (HKS super dragger), turbo xs rfl bov, and a boost and afr gauge in a pod. Oh and a chrome y-pipe.
It's in decent condition and according to his dad it had been completely gone through at 96k miles. The 120k was done then so I figured I'd do the 120k/180k when I got it.
I've read up a bit and this is what it sounds like I'd be replacing:
Crank pulley (its wearing out and squeaking)
general timing belt stuff
water pump
oil pump
spark plugs and wires
fuel filter

And since it has a lifter tick maybe 99 lifters if ATF/ seafoam don't fix it.
I've also read that VSS would be a good thing to replace for prevenative maintenance while you're in there, but since I'm extremely mechanically inclined I'd hopefully find a member that could help me with that and the rest of the tune up (anyone out there in mn?)

The battery was dead when I got there yesterday, but he charged it over night and it started right up when I got there. The active aero and ecs still works so that's a plus. He also has a body kit he'd throw in for 100 (there's a small crack on the rear bumper so I figure that'd be a good replacement; I know most of you hate body kits, but it's a good replacement)

I'll post up some pictures tomorrow while I'm at school because my computer is really slow at home.
