94 Z28 ( sitting 6 years NEED HELP)

I have a 94 Z28 that has been sitting for almost 6 years, outside in south florida with no cover. I just got the motor squared away, I have no experience with suspension and minor experience with brakes. What are necessary things to do to both before I put the car on the road.
HELP NEEDED

Thanks

The first thing I would do would be to check the calipers to make sure they are in good condition.

I'm getting new calipers and pads, my main concern is the suspension, is there anything I should check before this thing hits the road?

Check your front lower A-arm bushings. Make sure they are not worn out or dry rotted. I'm sure it would not hurt to change the front and rear shocks, but a bad shock will not kill anything.

As mentioned above, go over the brake system real well.
