Three things I've done recently were not on your list:
Differential fluid replaced
Throttle body cleaned
Power steering fluid changed
Next on the list for my '87 is suspension (Replace shocks & bushings). I also plan to check ball joints, tie rod ends, links, etc.
I think this type of stuff typically gets overlooked on 15 year old vettes!

Flush all fluids
About six to eight months ago, i flushed all fluids---coolant flush, transmission flush, rear end and power stearing fluid flush and last but not least, flush of the brake fluid. Thats just what I did.
