Serpentine belt
Check tensioner pulleys and possibly replace

If you are wanting to do an underdrive pulley this is a good time.

When I did my water pump (around 110,000'ish miles, don't have access to my records on the phone) I did WP, low temp thermostat, UD pulley, and new serpentine belt (had to because of pulley but would have anyway) and did a full coolant flush.

This is a good time to do the front engine mount as well.
