Welcome aboard! You can typically expect to find most of the vacuum lines/hoses starting to deteriorate, the fuel hoses that go between the fender and the fuel rails are a must-change item [fire hazard] amongst other things. Assuming you didn't already know this, of course.

I had previously added a CAI and a Flowmaster exhaust prior to it sitting around.
At this point, I know that getting things back in order will cost me some $$$... I've already had to replace the oil pan gasket, fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel neck/tank gasket (found that out the hard way). I've bought new tires/wheels (back to the original 17"s) and fixed some of the vacuum lines for my A/C. Then most recently, the steering shaft decided to slip apart and hit my leg while driving... that was interesting. SMH I've got to replace the rag top and re-upholster the front leather seats. Not to mention, it needs a new paint job which I've been told to find a body kit to save some dough.
So for upgrades, I'm limited: BBK 70mm throttle body, LED headlights, and tail lights. LOL

I'm glad you mentioned the fuel lines... I need to check them out. There have been so many other things pop-up. LOL
The $$$ we'll spend for a "toy" to play with.

The most common fix it to 86 them and replace them with AN fittings/hoses.

Thanks again for the reminder... I was able to get some black SS hoses and fittings to replace those lines. I'm sure they'll disintegrate as soon as I touch them. LOL
