Default My 95z has been sitting 4 years!

I just got a 95z that has been sitting in a garage for about 4 years, driven about 500 miles or so in that time. I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions of maintenence duties that I should perform. I think i've got a pretty good idea i just want some expert advice in generating a final checklist!
so far I am thinking:

1. Oil Change
2. Coolant Flush
3. Plugs and Wires
4. I will probably pick up torque arm and tranny mounts.
what else....???

Thanks!

Anyone have any tips on one that has been sitting in storage for 5 months with a blown Head Gasket, and Coolant mixed in the oil? WD40 was sprayed in the Cylinder that was burning it, and all through the engine to keep the coolant from damanging it..
