C32 Preventive Maintance

Hey, I have a 2002 C32 amy, 84 k on it. I barely drive it, to be honest, maybe 2k per year. I want to do some good preventive maintenance before it becomes an issue. I was thinking, just some rules of thumb about things I should do before things become an issue.

I have put in the new smog pump, yet the check engine light, hasn't came off.

I want to do the spark plugs, Intercooler Pump, water pump, oil change, change the super charger oil and the oxygen sensors.

I know it may sound a little crazy, but I just like to fix things before they become a problem. what do you guys think? If you could prioritize my sort of wish list, how would you rank it?

Here's a list of what I have done:
1.Supercharger pulley bearing - eventually goes out and cheap to replace
2. Water pump pulley - water pump usually doesn't go bad, bearing in the pulley seizes and breaks.
3. Belt
4. Oil change
5. Transmission flush/filter and fluid change
6. TCU Sleeve - electrical connector bushing eventually leaks change with trans fluid change
7. Coolant flush
8. differential fluid change
9. Brake rotors and Pads
10. Brake fluid flush
11. Spark plugs and wires
12. Intercooler pump
13. Oxygen sensor - check cats to see if they are good while you're at it
14. Check all seals for oil leaks and replace a necessary
15. Crank Position sensor - Eventually goes bad
