my head gasket is shot, getting a lot of smoke from exhaust
my question(s) is other then just changing the head gasket is there anything else i should replace now that i would have the head off?

clean and lap valves definatly. with age they start to let exhaust out prematurely as do the rings.

ARP head studs, since you're only supposed to use the 92-95 headbolts one time (they're stretch bolts).
I've heard of people re-using them but I'm not recommending you do it. ARP's are only $10 or $20 more than a set of OEM headbolts from the dealership.
