Added oil cooler seals (they may be in the set that they've already got, but at CAD2 for the pair from German Supply, it can't harm 
Oil filter mount gasket? Did you mean oil filler, not filter? Like this?

Breather pipes above the fuel tank, all the fuel lines & fuel filter. Don't forget the breather hidden behind the spare wheel well.

Fuel lines are in my order from German Supply
Fuel filter is already in the bus ready to be fitted
Breather pipes - hmm, OK, lets look for them, I wonder if they're included in the German Supply kit?

german supply sells fuel and breather kits, you should also replace fuel filler grommet depending on you year. Pull and clean gas tank, if rusted it needs to be treated and repainted. Clean and degrease engine bay. Maybe even repaint engine bay depending how far you want to take this. oh check seals on side marker lights, if bad replace seals and pop out the plastic achors and use nuts bolt and washer to put markers back on. Paint fire wall. Reseal fire wall. sound proof back gas tank side of firewall.
edit: make sure it a VW or German fuel filler grommet. bus-boys.com has decent ones.

While you are going after fuel lines, inspect the fuel filler neck rubber.

There are 4 short lengths above the fuel tank, one in front of the driver rear light up by the spare wheel well, 1 above the engine lid, 3 on a t-piece above the engine lid & one on the charcoal filter:-

thats the wrong year diagram your looking at if your bus is a 79.
it looks like this and has same part # but dont buy busdepot as it is cheap looking rubber. http://www.busdepot.com/211201119
call bus-boys and give them the part # 211201119 you want German or VW one.

Sit down on the ground in the engine compartment hole. Look at the slime and dirt and start cleaning everything immaculately. Inspect every single thing that you can see in there. Not just in the engine hole but the area in front of the engine. Trans, suspension, brake lines, wiring, etc. Pull the trans and replace the rear shift rod rear bushing and closely inspect the coupler. Pull out the clutch and throttle cables and put new ones in.
Repair all the other problems you will find after you carefully inspect everything within sight. A new engine won't gain you anything when any of the related items fail.
