Boxster 2.7 Engine Out -- Whats Next??

I work at a dealership and they took in a base 2002 Boxster 5 speed as a trade, I was able to grab it for a good price. It seems stock aside from a Fabspeed Catback Exhaust. After getting it the first thing I did (before even driving it) was do an oil change and got the AC working. Yesterday I was finally going to take it home and pretty much 2 miles into my drive the OAS went out and blinded everyone on the street lol.

Was planning on making this my project and get it running well and using it when weather permits but seeming as this happened I decide may as well remove the engine and do what I can whilst its out an accessible.

So the first part which is obvious is the OAS will be changed, I planned on changing out the Spark plugs and coils, installing a new fuel filter aswell. At the same time I will look around for any oil leaks and replace any bad gaskets.

The car had a seemingly high idle so will degunk the throttle

Just wondering what else I should do to the engine whilst its out? that is relatively cheap or may pop up at a later date?

The engine has approx 127k Miles
