At least 1 year without being turned on? Ouch.

Very important: Will the storage place be climate controlled?

Basics: Fuel Stabilizer, fill up tank completely, that avoids condensation.
Remove old oil, fill with new oil, run for a while witht he fuel stabilizer and new oil. When done, fill the oil to the very very top (dont start it after this).
Obviously, raise it up and remove tires.
Also, stuff in a oiled rag into the exhaust. Plug up air intake, etc etc.

If you are planning to store this car for that long, without turning it on sometimes, I hope the place you are storing it is climate controlled and dust free.
