No.. just replace the belt (with a Gatorback) and you could replace the upper/lower rad hoses as a precaution if you wanted, but from my experience the ones that usually pop are the heater hoses at the end near the front of the car.

With the age of these cars, your dad is right. Preventive maintenance would be to replace them all, if you don't want any surprises on the road.

No kits, you'll have to go to the parts store and ask for them individually. And Dad is right...remember this - the older you get, the smarter he'll get.
