Some of these points are worthwhile if the car's going to be stored for a long time without being driver, over six months or so, for instance. Even then, while taking the weight off the tyres is a good idea, the suspension suffers little for bearing the car's weight.
As far as oil in the bores goes, that's really long term stuff, and probably only necessary for an engine that's unprotected from weather (no air cleaner for instance).
One point to be remembered in really long-term storage of cars (or parts) is to remove the oil from rear axles and gearboxes.
Why?
Because the oil will prevent any water forming in there from being evaporated, and the water level will naturally rise. Condensation in the air that will enter and leave via the little breater will settle in the housing. Being heavier than oil, it will sink to the bottom. Building up over a long time, it will get into bearings and cause damage...
