Maintenance you'd do after 8 years? Manual transmission oil? Power steering?

Hi all,

I have an '86 Coupe GT which is now obviously over 8 yrs old.  Is there any 
preventive maintenance I should do?  For example, is the oil in the manual 
transmission ever changed?  The fluid in the power steering ever flushed?

I have heard that some people use an oil flush in the engine which is mostly 
kerosene.  Does anyone have any info on this?

I have flushed the brake fluid and unfortunately am about to replace the 
radiator.

Regards,
Glenn
