Default 2008 3.7 Engine Swap

2008 3.7 Engine Swap

I have a 2008 2008 Ram 1500, 3.7, 6 speed.

I am getting ready to replace the engine with a remanufactured one probably from Powertrain Company.
I'm going to be replacing the clutch at the same time.

I wanted to get anybody's take on what parts I might not want to reuse, e.g., might be getting ready to fail at 200k miles, or anything else to buy or look out for before I start pulling it apart.

Any thoughts are much-appreciated in advance.

All the coolant hoses, and the serpentine belt.
