engine is out... now what do I do?

The motor is out and on a stand. Don't want to waste this opportunity before putting it back in the frame. So what should a person do while the motor is easily accessable?
Pull the oil pan?
I kind of want to pull the intake and have it cleaned. There appeared to be some rusty junk in the runners when I took the carb off.
Check out the pictures of the brazing around the drain plug. This appears to be a repair. Also is the skid plate on the oil pan standard, or something added to cover a repair.
The motor mounts are also in need of replacement. I'm considering fabricating my own.
Someone poorly painted the motor black over the top of the original red/orange paint. I'm assuming the orange is original?
If I pull the exhaust manifolds off, will I get them back on? I've had problems with cast Chevolet manifolds not fitting back on the motor because they've shrunk from all the heat cycles.
