Maintenance on 97 v6 sonata that’s been sitting for over 5 years

Only has 39k miles, was a grandma car, got it for 700 off a guy who wanted it off his driveway. He replaced the fuel pump after 5 years of it sitting and it started right up. Aside from fluids, filters and belts, is there anything else that a sitting car of 5 years would need?
The car runs great for being sat but it does have a couple noises (mainly serpentine and exhaust from what I can tell)
To do: trans fluid, belts, spark plugs/ignition wires, exhaust hangers, motor/trans mounts, vvs
