I did the same research a month or so ago, so you'll find plenty of threads covering this topic...and varying opinions. I've never stored a car over the winter, but based on my Dad's opinion (he's stored a variety of Vettes for 40 years; we live in MN) and what I've heard from others here, the only two things I would slightly disagree with are:
1) It's ok to just use one of those cigarette lighter plug-in trickle chargers and leave the battery in.
2) Inflate tires to 35 #. You can always check them during the winter but most seem to think 2# to 5# over-inflated is plenty.
Most people seem to think jack stands are unecessary with modern tires.
