oh yeah you could do that too. replace the belts, fool around with the idle screw, top off all fluids and replace the fuel filter, air etc etc.
I think the 1st gen and 2nd gen are the same in terms of spark plug location. Its on the driver side.
If you invest into a Haynes Manual, it will tell you all the tune up procedures and how to do them in a breeze. Have fun.

knowledge junkie
where's that timing belt? Hey there's no distributor. What's this box with chips & wires coming out of it? 
One of the good things about computer control vs mechanical.

Keep it simple,
Plugs
Wires
Belts
Filters (Air/Fuel)
Oil change/filter
Then if he wants more (and will pay you
)
Flush rad
New top and bottom rad hoses
Replace worn coolant hoses
If he's impressed (and still has $$)
Check vacuum system with hand pump+gauge
Replace vacuum hoses
Check for operation of solenoids/valves
Replace shifter bushings if shifter is sloppy
I could go on and on....
