Depending on how long it sat, and if fuel stabilizer was used, you could be looking at replacing more than just the pump. Cleaning the injectors and replacing the fuel filter would be good ideas.

also changing the trany fluid and diff fluid would be a good idea and the o2 sensor and the spark plugs(ngk platinum's) and wires would be a good idead as well and flushing the radiator

Well yes, a full tuneup should be done with any new car. New coolant and vacuum lines also need to be on that list.
