I haven't seen mention of
-sheet of gasket paper
-Permatex #2 for the gastets and pipe threads
-spare fan belt
-feeler gauges if you'll be on a real long trip and need to adjust valves
-Gasket scraper, I made one out of an old broken flat file now about 4" long, ground flat on one side with a bevel on the end for the scraper, and on the top side it is still a file, so can remove nicks and used for the final cleanup of the surface before putting back together.

At one point on a multi-thousand mile road trip I broke a fan blade on the 52, the solution was to cut off the opposite one (for balance) and reinstall the now 2 bladed fan. Sure was glad I packed the hacksaw on that trip!!
