Putting the Evo 8 back on the road...

Putting the Evo 8 back on the road...
So, I'm going to get my 2005 Evo 8 back on the road here soon. I haven't driven or started it in a little over a year (13 months). It's been sitting in my garage unregistered.
It also has E85 in the tank and was run on E85 exclusively for 3 years before I put in the garage.
I've never owned a car that has sat this long so I have no experience to draw from.
Any tips?
What I plan to do:
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2. Drain all drive train fluids (engine, trans, diffs, brake fluid, etc)
3. Refill all fluids
4. Send out injectors for cleaning?
5. Install a new fuel pump?
Thanks in advance

Take out the plugs, pour a very small amount of oil in each cylinder and turn the crank by hand about 5 times.
Unbolt the valve cover and lube up the cam shafts, springs and valve guides. Make sure you turn the crank while lubing it
Take off the return line and drain the rest of it, put a new fuel filter on.
Just my .02
