Need to know a little more about how you drive the vehicle; whether it is manual or automatic, etc.

You can buy a user's manual, if you don't have one, from the Museum and it should give you the maintenance intervals...

go to www.mygmlink.com and register then you can download the owner manual in PDF, it has the service intervals. You do not have a timing belt.

The computer (DIC) will tell you when to chage the oil or you change it once a year. Since you don't know when the last one was you should chage it.

Keep with what GM says about fluid changes. No adjustment necessary on the valves unless aftermarket adjustable rockers have been installed. Vettes also use a timing chain, so there is no belt to replace.
