If you haven't started it yet, unplug Hall sensor connector on side of distributor and crank engine for 20 seconds or so. This might get some oil circulating. Better yet, pull plugs and squirt some motor oil into each cylinder. Spin the starter to get the juices flowing without the plugs. If you have already run the engine, don't worry about it.
Check usual suspects: all vacuum hoses, clean ground points, clean A/C evaporator box drain, sunroof drains, flush brake fluid, make sure caliper pistons move, new pads and rotors if necessary, flush P/S fluid, check suspension bolts for tightness and lower A-arms for cracks near mounts, CV joint boots, check inner driver boots and repack inner drivers with hi-temp bearing grease, new plugs, rotor, cap.
A/C hoses will probably have pinhole leaks, maybe switch to 134a in the A/C when the hoses and receiver/dryer are replaced. That'll keep you busy for awhile.
