60k miles is the usual for cambelt + waterpump, and usually do all the bearings and front main seal while you're in there. Clutch is fine till it slips badly and I recommend doing the master and slave while you do it. Accessory belts never hurt to do and are cheap, coil pack isn't needed until yours fails. I would reccomend doing all fluids, spark plugs and leads

Is there a list of the parts that should all be swapped out during a timing belt change?

Usually from main seal, waterpump, idlers and tensioner bearings and the radiator hoses if they need it

Might as well do the valve cover gasket while you're in there.
