I’d be most concerned with the condition of the timing chain.
Pop the distributor cap and watch the movement of the rotor while you turn the crank back and forth.
If the chain appears to have too much slop in it then consider replacing that. Otherwise leave well enough alone.
If you have AAA consider upgrading to their highest membership tier for towing, you’ll need to do it at least 30 days in advance of your road trip.
