Fist do a compression test because if you find a really low cylinder, you will be rebuilding the motor or replacing it.
If compression is good drain all the fluids and go ahead and change the timing belt. While you're doing that you might as well change the oil pan gasket because it is probably leaking. Since you will be taking off the valve cover to do the timing belt you can change the valvecover gasket and grommets. Also before you put the timing belt on change out the front crank seal.
The waterpump is behind the timing belt so you will change that while the timing belt is out.. It's going to be a massive PITA to change the timing belt with the motor in the car...just a forewarning.
Remove the radiator and back flush it, change water hoses if they need changing. Maybe change the thermostat while you're at it but only use a HONDA thermostat...Don't use a colder one or any from an autoparts store because it will fail.
-Change distributor cap/rotor, plug wires with either OEM or NGK wires, and NGK copper plugs(ask which plugs at any autostore they should have the right ones)
-Change fuel filter
-Replace transmission oil.
-Fill it all back up with new coolant/oil.
Might be a good idea to change brake fluid.. Same for clutch.
Drive it.
When you get ready to turbo, ask more questions.
