The most important thing to do are the motor/transmissions mounts if they have collapsed. Mine collapsed too, and took my power brake vacuum hose along with it, making the car undrivable. The other things are normal maintenance for these cars, the fluids, etc.

When the car shakes at idle and you can feel the engine vibrate through the chassis when you accelerate, you need new engine mounts. The car should generally be smooth. When it gets rough through the whole car, the mounts are not just ruptured but basically flat.
