Default a little info please

alright guys i may be picking up a 2000 ss today or tomorrow sometime. Its a six speed and has 92k miles on it. The motor from what i have seen looking under the hood is incredibly clean and makes no weird noises whatsoever. The tranny shifts smooth and the clutch feels good as well. I know the LS1 is a great motor from reading posts on here, so my question is what usually needs to be replaced or taken care of at this point in time for a car with these miles,

rear end if it was beat on, id do a clutch on that, ls6 setup or ls7/ls2 setup just to be safe. make sure the rear main seal isnt leaking while your in there. also make sure if shes t-tops that they dont leak. IE take it to a carwash or have him hose it down with you in it.

i got on it a bit and the rear seemed to be ok no whine or anything, its gonna be my daily driver so hopefully the clutch will be ok for a while i may take it to the track once or twice a year. ill definitely check the t tops though. thanks for the info anything else?

are spark plugs on the ls1 harder to change than on an lt1?
