Default Two leaky headgaskets

Ok so I'm at 100k miles on my z28 and now I have two leaky headgaskets. Right after I got a mail order tune from Blaine....ugh, but that's another subject and unsure of their relation.
My question is...should I go ahead and do a oil pump now? I was thinking I would go ahead and do some coated pacesetters while the car is down..
There is no damage to the block and it never ran hot. Was just leaking around the front of the headgasket.
Anyways what else should I expect, and what am I gonna have to buy along the way??

Why would you want to do the oil pump unless you have indications of a problem?

I don't think I can afford all of that at once.

I'd at least do the oil pump and timing chain, the chain is cheap insurance. use mls gaskets
