Does everything look normal in this pic?

I'm buying this car out of state and a little nervous about such a long drive with a rental truck and trailer to get it back to Texas. Its a 92 Z28 305 auto car. Beyond power windows and locks and G80, it's a stripped down t-top car. It hasn't been started in a few years but had a new tank, pump etc installed in 2019. I'm going to buy a battery and take 5 gallons of fresh fuel and hope I can start it and drive it onto the trailer. The firewall looks yellow in this pic but it isn't, it matches the rest of the white paint.

I don't see any huge red flags from that picture. Aftermarket ign wires might be ran poorly into place but that's no biggie. They look to have moved the intake air temperature sensor into the air duct instead of the plenum, that's a plus as long as the ecm is ok with that. And there's a tube or hose or something that I can't identify behind the alternator and runs to the drivers side towards the evap. Possibly an evap tube just ran differently and factory?

and a boat trailer winch may be an inexpensive option to get it on a trailer if it doesn't run.
