Default I just bought a zr-1

I just bought a 1991 turquoise metallic ZR1 with 78k miles. I'm picking it up tonight!

I found a TON of extremely useful information on this site that, hopefully, enabled me get a good deal.

When I put the car on a lift, there were some minor issues such as the brake lines were starting to rust, the e-brake cables were completely shot, Rotors were slightly worn,and there was an oil leak. The mechanic(who admitted to never seeing an lt5 engine before) who looked at it with me thought the leak was the gasket. This was before I knew that loose bolts were an issue.

On the inside, there is a small hole in the driver side seat, the radio (or speakers) don't really work, and the air bladders don't all inflate.

I don't want to trust the oil leak repair to the mechanic who checked the car out for me simply because he's not familiar with the engine. I called a local Chevy dealer and spoke to the service manager who assured me they have someone trained to work on the car. I've read comments about dealers screwing up these engines so my question is...What specific questions should I be asking the service manager to make sure they really DO have someone qualified to work on this?

Anything else I should be doing or I should have checked out? any and all advice is much appreciated as I'm not really mechanically oriented and need as much help as I can get.

Thanks in advance!
