Default TB & tensioner change; What fluids to drain?

I want to install the new Porkensioner and a new TB. I have the tools and flywheel lock and all the minimal parts to do this. My question is what fluids do I need to drain on a 1984 US 928S? I will of course look at all the toothed pulleys etc. I do not plan to change my water pump.
Thanks

You might be able to do just the tensioner w/o draining anything.

If you want more room to work with, drain the rad and pull your top coolant hose.

Pulling the rad is an easy job on the 16v cars, and creates far better working space ..... so, drain the rad and remove the inlet/outlet hoses: that should do it for fluids ......

since your there drain the Power steering tank and replace the resivour and the inlet and outlet lines as you have to remove the pump anyway .
