Harmonic balancer / Damper replacement what else if anything should be replaced?

When I had my engine built the builder reused my old Harmonic Balancer/ Damper. He used a Harmonic Balancer repair sleeve( see below). I want to pull the balancer and install a new one since the one he used is 20 years old. What else do I need to replace if anything? The engine has been run for less than 5 hours since it was built.

Probably want a new front main seal to go with it after you've used a bushing.
