Dual row bearings last longer and fail less often.

Consider changing the coolant expansion tank if it is original and the AOS. Also, while you are poking around in there it may be a good idea to replace the vacuum hoses on the engine. The old ones are likely to be brittle. How old is your water pump? AOS + Coolant tank + Water pump (and 160 degree thermostat while you are at it) = about another $1,000, but its well spent if you are having the down time anyway.
