   I'd leave coilpack - but spark plugs are a good shout.
   
   New oil and filter
   
   clean up the inside of inlet&tb
   
   could just cleanup the engine/paint it to tidy the engine bay up

   if the sumps off i would clean the oil pump of any sludge. Other than that theres not a great deal that will cause an issue. Most other faults are easy to sort with the engine in situ
