install new clem clamp, new pktentioner and remove Torque Tube and inspect bearings.
Drain, remove pan/cover for trans and diff and inspect
Inspect and repair sunroof (poss cables seized)
If i have time I should go through the window motors.

That's a lot to accomplish in just one winter, Brad. Have you already resolved your fuel leak? I would tackle that first. After that I would pull the engine. It's not too bad to do as I said before. Once out, I would go ahead and fit the new fuel lines. Then the next step seems obvious. Tear down, replace gaskets and install PKtensioner. After reassembly, replace everything on top. After that, I have no idea because I no absolutely nothing about your new fuel system but installing that would be my next focus as well as reinstalling the engine.

I wouldn't worry about the torque tube if there are no obvious issues. That's just me. Don't overwhelm yourself. Simply take it all step by step. Just focus yourself to one specific duty at a time. Most importantly, take your time. Don't let yourself feel disappointed if you haven't gotten everything done by the first of spring or whenever. Realize that whenever you have it all done it will definitely have been worth the work and wait.

The main fuel leak is at the tank at that valve/pump that threads into the tank.
which reminds me that I need to order that and the fuel dampener under the hood. Its been caped since I got the car.

Well, I am happy to have reminded you of something. :)

Step 2: Remove engine ground strap to body. Step 3: Undo harness clamp at cross member. Get those two out of the way now so there is no fear of forgetting later. I guess go ahead and remove engine harness from hot post too, while you're at it. Then remove the entire fuel injection harness and ECU. Remove exhaust and o2 sensor.
