900 8v on long trip

This weekend I may be driving from DC to Connecticut in my venerable 1987 900 8v, about a 5 hour drive one way. The car has over 200K miles on it. Its been pretty trouble free lately, owing to it not being driven a lot and the Type A mentality of its owner. It will go 70-75 mph pretty easily during my work commute.
I figure I should bring (i) tool kit, (ii) oil, (iii) coolant. The only unkown is the brake calipers have been sticking, but local Saab repair shop said they look fine and aren't grabbing now.
Other than checking all fluids and tires, any thoughts on prepping for the trip?
