Default Just picked up a 91 RS - Need help with maintenance

Hi, I just bought my first Honda, nevermind the username as it's my friends. It's a 1991 Integra RS 5 speed, and it's going to be my DD. What are some preventative maintenance services I should be doing to ensure a good relationship with my car? I figure the basic stuff such as oil, oil filter, flush the cooling system, bleed brakes, clutch and tranny fluid are in order, but are DA Integras notorious for certain part failures?

Also the AC doesn't blow on the 1-setting, but the others are OK, and the wiper doesn't work in the intermittent setting, but lo and high are OK. Any idea as to what's wrong?

It's going to be parked on the street as my Mustang (sacrilege I know) gets the garage, so i figure I'll make a fuel-kill switch. Could I just hook up an on-off toggle inline with the fuel pump wire?

Here she is


And the Stang



TIA!
