if you are going to put the car in the air, do it with the suspension loaded, as in the jack stands under the suspension, not the body or frame. better than disconnecting the battery is a trickle-charger. filling the gas tank keeps gas on all surfaces so nothing else can get on them (corrosion) and sta-bil is an awesome product.

the engine is sealed up, so you don't have to worry about running it if it'll only be sitting for 6 months. if this turns into an extended project, i would just use an oil primer (or disconnect the fuel pump and coil and crank it) to recoat everything with oil. get a quality car cover, like a california car cover brand, that is multi-layered so it will breath the moisture away. if not, leave it uncovered but with a good coat of wax on her. washing it down with the hose every couple of weeks will keep grit off of her, and taking her to the car wash every three months isn't a bad idea for long term protection against contaminants. if you can afford a car port-type tent, it will keep the acid rain off of the paint. they are pretty resonable at $160, but buy the one without side panels. that's from personal experience (don't ask).
