Where clutch master cylinder push rod connects to the clutch pedal, inspect
the clevis pin hole on clutch pedal, and pin, for excessive wear. Apply
grease to those parts.

Although Jims' suggestion of marking cable to clamp position should make
re-installation foolproof, if a lever(s) has multiple holes for end of
cable, it can't hurt to mark which hole the cable end fits into.

Apply anti seize to bolts holding the heat exchange box to body.

Some will disagree with this but if you're comfortable with doing a little
re-wireing, re-locating the heater fan resistor outside in area behind the
upper grill will make it easy to replace if-when the time comes. I"ve had
my fan resistor mounted this way for years without any issue. But then I
use the fan as little as possible.

Looking at driver side, above to RH of fresh air ram, image of resistor
re-location:

Then again, since you've had the dash off, box opened, replacing that
resistor in the future may not be such a big job.
