I would pull the heads and look at the cylinder walls and go from there. Definitely replace the timing chain, oil pump, oil pan gaskets, front and rear seals, etc... If you want a mild cam I would go with a Ford B cam. Nothing crazy and will work good with your stock heads. Speaking of heads if funds allow have them rebuilt. Pulling them out later can be PITA, especially if you are leaving all the polution control items on. I would also upgrade to a set of 1.6 roller rockers, replace the push rods, and lifters.
These cars can run fine up to 200k plus. But if your already in there, might as well get it done.
