not much, maybe coat the whole engine bay with some wd40 so it cleans up easy. Other than that, you don't have a distributor, so no need to water proof that. If your gonna be in water ALL the time, maybe invest in an electric fan so you can kill it when u get into deep water so it dosent throw water all over the place under the hood, and so you dont burn the clutch on the stock fan out.

Make sure your axle diff vent tubes, and transmission/transfer case vent tubes are up high, and working.

buy a tube of di-electric grease and unplug & fill all your electrical connectors and spark plug wire boots,and regrease your spindle bearings(inside the spindle by the u-joint) often as they are one of the first casualties of water crossing and eat up the stub shaft in the process.

look in the cardomain site link in my siggy for my snorkle,i killed my first motor with the straw in the grill

When your rig goes in the water... the fan blades will hit the water and they can/often/will deform. That sends the blades into the radiator. That is bad news. Unless you can keep the fan above the water, or remove power to the fan, the rig is in danger of having this happen
