Just bought my first 1989 Camaro !HELP!

I just went and bought a 1989 Camaro RS with the 2.8L v6 in it. It has 122k miles on it and i'm just wondering what kind of things I should be looking to fix/needs to be fixed soon that happens around those miles? I already gave it the usual tune up and just wondering what else I should look for before something breaks on it. Thank you for the info!

Haha, that is the least of my worries right now, I would of bought one with the v8 in it had all the ones not cost $2000+ more then the one I bought. I'm talking about replacing problem parts that might arise from 120k miles on it. I'm used to driving and fixing Hondas so this is a new venture for me.

ANY AND HELP IS APPRECIATED THOUGH!
