Parts/gaskets/fluids needed for water pump install and SC service?

Hey all, I'm about to order everything I need for the SC oil service and water pump replacement. Can you take a look at this list and let me know if I'm missing anything important or something I should do while I'm in there?

-Water pump
-Water pump flange (do I need this?) http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/11517509170/
-Water pump to block o ring (does this usually come with the pump or are there two?)
-Coolant
-SC oil
-SC inlet gasket
-Throttle body o ring
-Crankshaft position sensor o ring (because I'm in there)
-Low speed fan resistor (car must be in service mode for this right? May as well do it now)
-SC pulley, plugs, belt and tensioner stop (because I want to go fastar!)

Anything I'm missing?

Thanks!

Don't forget the SC outlet gasket
Distiller water to mix with the coolant



When doing the SC everyone removes the MFE( modular front end) to make the job easier

Yeah definitely taking the front off to get it into service mode. Thanks for the reminder on the outlet gasket!

BTW, I have a 2% crank pulley and I'll be going with the 15% SC pulley. Thought I read that I stick with the stock belt size, is that correct?
