Nice!

So, moving on to the external bits on the motor.  I will get a fuel pump rebuild kit as I'm pretty sure the one that sat with the fuel for so long needs an update.  The book mentions something about renewing the oil pump.  I'm not quite sure what I would do with this.  Does something need to happen with the oil pump other than a new gasket?

I ordered a new oil pump just because.  I ordered a fuel pump rebuild kit.  I realized the two valves are staked in.  Anyone have any guidance on how to remove the existing ones.  If I can't figure it out, I will try to go with them and hope they are still functional.

It probably would have been easier to order a new mechanical fuel pump. The service manual is a bit skimpy on details on rebuilding the fuel pump but this handout may be of some help. All of the new mechanical fuel pumps that I've seen are of the non glass bowl type.

I tried to post a single page scanned print out on directions to rebuild the fuel pump but the file is too large to post. Send me a PM and I'll send it to you by email.
