Note that age does the most damage to rubber parts and seals from lack of use.

That said, consider what components those might be and watch out for those. I would suggest an inspection of suspension bushings and the flex discs.

Also old fluid can be detrimental. Transmission, brake fluid, and a coolant change is important at this point.

Otherwise, like previously noted, aside from the A/C, sounds like you covered most issues.

By the way, can you do any of this work yourself? What prevents most people from keeping old cars are labor costs. The last parts you mentioned needing replacement are relatively inexpensive.
