Default Replacing Head Gasket. Should I Do Anything Else?

I finally was able to take the head off my car and found that it had a head gasket leak between the #1 cylinder and water neck. I'm not sure what type of head I have. Should I do or check anything else while I have the head off?

The engine was bored .30 on its last rebuild. I estimate that the engine has 10,000 miles on it since then. There is no obvious wear on first inspection. It overheated badly once (the head gasket was already leaking at that time) and doesn't low idle well anymore.
