not sure if this is the right forum....but i'm sure somebody will let me know...

anyways....i blew my motor in my '00 z about a month ago.....as much as this suck....it gives me an opportunity to get better aquainted with my internals...and rebuild the engine the way i want it....now this is obviously going to take a while....now....my question is....what should i do to prevent any other problems from arising while she's in her long state of rest???.....my first thought is to drain the gas tank.....put her on jack stands and remove the suspension and wheels....is there any thing else i should do???.....thanks.....

See car manual for instruction
Put the car on jacks (don't let the wheels to touch the floor).
Deflate the wheels to 20 lb or less.
Drain the fuel .
Remove the battery.
Put nitrogen inside the cabin (and a warning sign 'cause you'll become suffocated if inside of the car before a good vent). The reason is to eliminate the oxygen inside
Cover the car
Be careful about heath and cold
