tranny fluid, muffler bearings, clutch fluid, brake fluid, check for cracked vacuum hoses and replace as necesary, thermostat, flush the radiator, and if you really want to do a good job you might want to have the injectors taken out and cleaned. Im sure there are other things.
Oh, and gaskets!

500 bucks, what a ripoff. Don't do it.
In addition to the good suggestions above check and replace:
Upper/lower radiator hoses
Heater hoses
Distributor Cap and Rotor
Valve cover gasket if leaking
Timing chain and timing chain cover gasket
Adjust the valve lash
Check the points and gaps and don't forget the dwell angle
Rotate your wheel bearings
Drain and replace the air in tires
Drop oil pan and visually check crankshaft bearings
That's all I can think of for now. Hopefully others will add to my list.
