I always use a bicycle tube to hold the coolant, and fill it up through the valve.Thats my only tip

If you are only going to be storing it for a couple of months , just place plastic bag over the intake on the throtle body so no moisture can get into the engine and cover the whole thing with a tarp and keep it out of the weather.
My EJ motor just sat on the back patio for 12 months with just a rag in the intake, fired up straight away once it was in the car.
