There really isn't a lot to do on these engines if it is running well.
Change the spark plugs. Take a look at the spark plug wires and see if they are showing signs of age and replace if needed. Change the air filter. If you have a PCV valve or under-hood gas filter (newer ones do not) change those. Take a look at the belts on the front of the engine -- twist the belt over with your fingers and if you see any cracking replace those. Change the oil and filter regularly.
Of course the number one maintenance item is the timing belt. That should be changed every 100,000 miles or 10 years whichever comes first. Change the water pump at the same time.
