I know this doesn't answer your questions but why would you want to do that?
I'm with you, EV. I think the OP is headed down the same rabbit hole so many folks visit when they think about storing their car. Should I change the oil before and/or after? Should I jack the car up? Should I put wood blocks under the tires? Should I pull my battery?
Put some Stabil in the tank (or don't), drive for a half hour, park the car, and put it on a battery tender. Don't start it during the storage period unless you actually drive it long enough to warm up ALL fluids.
Last, take a pic of it on a sunny day, and put that on your 'puter screen. It will be Spring before you know it.
Why store the car in an "unnatural" state? One winter I stored my mountain bike upside down (on hangers) and the shocks got all messed up when I tried riding it in the spring and had to have them serviced. Keep the car on the ground, with the suspension loaded under the weight of the car as to avoid any unexpected issues. Simple.
