Major Front End Rebuild

Major Front End Rebuild
OK, got all my parts gathered finally. The patient is a 2000 S70 GLT SE with 166k miles.
I'm going to replace struts (and all related strut hardware), control arms, sway bars and outer tie rod ends.
I have a few questions before I start the project this coming weekend:
1. Besides what is listed above, is there anything else I should consider changing out while I am in there and have it all apart?
2. Any particular order in which the parts should be removed/replaced for ease of getting the job done efficiently?
3. Any pointers? Seems pretty straightforward but I've never done this with a Volvo before. I dont want to get caught with a disassembled car and missing a part that I overlooked.
