Question Just got a 1988 944 and need help

Hello everyone, I have just picked up a new to me 1988 944 na that my son and I are fixing up for him. Overall it is in decent shape for a 30-year-old car but it has been sitting for ~2 years now, the previous owner had it for about a year before he parked it. long story short I am planning on doing the timing belt asap, what all parts do I need to get? Also, are there any "while I'm in there" parts that I should change? Thank you for any help I can get.

Here's some help, these vendors sell complete belt and roller kits, water pumps optional.
Call them and discuss what you need, they are both great to work with.
