You might want to consider doing some of the oil seals when the engine is out, e.g. the rear main usually requires the engine to come out, so, since you have it out... even the pipe (cigarette) seals are much easier with the engine out.
On the 164 QV 3.0 12v I did rear main seal (rear crank seal), front crank seal, cam seals, distributor seal (which you don't have), oil pump pulley seal, spark plug well seals, pipe (cigarette) seals. I did all engine maintenance as well: waterpump, T-belt, tensioner, ... Doing all the above including the conversion to drop it into the Milano/75 took quite a bit longer than a week (working weekends and week day evenings pretty intensively). On the 164 12v I had to change the lower front engine cover to a Milano/75 cover and tap it for mounting the crank angle sensor - also had to drill some holes in the 164 block for mounting of the Milano/75 sump. Not sure about the 24v when it comes to the lower front engine cover and drilling the block for the Milano/75 sump.
Of course, if your oil seals show no sign of weeping, then why fix something that isn't broke? ...
