What wrench sizes / sockets above 19 mm are required to work on the '89 SHO?

I've pretty much worked on the engine and other areas where the largest size that was needed was 19mm,. Suspension bolts are much larger. From what I've read in the standards (American, British and DIN), there aren't any standard bolts listed for use with 20, 23, 25mm spanner sizes. So I'm thinking that you only need 21, 22, 24, 27mm above the 19mm size.

Low on funds, so I need to buy only what is essential.

19mm for the crank bolt, 22mm for the strut pinch bolts (this can vary from car to car), 24mm for the tension arm bolts, 26mm or 1" for the coolant temperature sensor.

T45 or T50 (I forget which) for the door latch pins, and seatbelt anchor bolts.

21 mm is also used for the strut pinch bolt. 21 mm for the engine mount bolts. 24mm for the steering rack. and everything listed above. I have all of the sockets listed above, minus the 36mm hub socket(make sure you buy hub sockets for the 30mm and 36mm) and there is nothing I am not able to do on my car(minus the rear hub nuts).
