Brought car our of storage after 4 years! What to check?

After 4 years of not having the time or the money (mostly the money) to tinker with the Z28, I've finally brought her out of retirement. Besides the changing the oil and flushing the coolant system, what else should I look at to make sure everything is good working order after sitting for so long?

Brakes including fluid, rotors and calipers. Calipers can seize up from sitting. Brake lines ect.

Fluids need to be changed

Other than that.....

check all the hoses for cracks. perticularly anything vacuum related.

maybe pull the plugs and squirt a touch of oil in each cylinder to seep down around the rings for a little added lube on first start.
