96 900s 150,000 mile DIY Tuneup

Well, my 1996 900s 2.3L NA Automatic, just passed 150,000 miles and I haven't had to do anything to it for a couple years now (touch wood)! But I would like to know what I should add to my maintenance to-do list at around this milage.
This weekend I will change the brake pads, coolant, ATF, air filter, oil & filter, spark plugs, cabin filter, and attempt to clean the TB with some carb cleaner and a toothbrush. I run Chevron Fuel injector cleaner through the system about every 3000 miles. IS THERE ANYTHING MORE MAJOR I SHOULD ADD TO THIS LIST AT THIS MILAGE POINT? (ie. is there some common but unknown-to-me belt or timing chain 'gotchya' about to bite me?)
Thanks!!
TomL

Background: previously I have changed the fuel pump (about 3 years ago), serp belt (at around 75k miles), idler pulley (squealing at around 100k miles), rear muffler (around 80k miles), engine and tranny mounts (the shaking was due to the tranny mount) at around 90kmiles, temp sending unit (caused bizarre shutdowns on startup) at around 115kmiles. The last 40,000 miles have been trouble free!
