You changing the filter on the auto trans as well or just swapping out the ATF4? They say it doesn't hurt to change the filter at every fluid change, but it does mean dropping the tranny oil pan to get to it.

Also, I don't know the state of your diff covers but my stock ones were pretty rusted after only like 1 year as the boys at Dana do a pretty crappy paint-job on them. Wouldn't hurt to pull them, give them a good clean, & then respray them black with a rattle can. Also with the covers off (as opposed to just draining the oil out & replacing it with fresh stuff) you can give the diff components a good spray with brake cleaner to get all the gunk out of them, & also check the state of the gear teeth for chips or unusual wear while you're at it.

They are reusable. You'll thank me the next time you do this job.
