wow.
one thing i learned driving from Detroit to Seattle in 40 hrs.
Is proper tune up. and replace fluids. i lost 5th gear because of real old tranny fluid.

Make sure the engine is in tip top shape.
Use the best Synthetic oil, maybe 0w20
If you have a 5spd. drain the old stuff and use GM Syncromesh Friction Modified Tranny fluid.
replace spark plugs. maybe upgrade to a MSD ignition if you have the $$.
new air filter.

extra foam cushions for your ass. a little foam cushion for your Gas pedal foot. if you dont have cruise. trust me your heel will get sore.
take off the rear seat backs and put a foam cushion as a bed.
Assuming car does not have AC, make a homemade lunch cooler A/C unit. as you will want to keep the windows closed.
