Would be a good idea to do timing belt, all rollers and tensioners and water pump while its out. Maybe clutch too. Its down to how far you wana go really.

its basically like for like.... so yes, very much possible in one weekend.
Treat any rust or paint any scrathched places in the bay... Basically give it a damn good clean, and check for rust etc
