Apart from the obvious head gasket kit which comes with numerous other gaskets ect. Is there anything else other than workshop tools required to complete the job? Any input or tips would be appreciated

A 2.3 could be a B230F B230FT or B230FK being the most common ones. The key thing is turbo or non turbo
Water pump I would only change if suspect. Do not buy genuine volvo or cheap aftermarket. The only known good pumps are SKF and Hepu
Always have the head surfaced. If all is good only a tiny amount of material is removed.
Cam belt there are two types. 1) older square tooth and then the newer round tooth version. Make sure you get the right one
