You might consider a car cover. Car covers aren't recommended for cars staying outside in areas where it can freeze to the paint, but don't think you see much freezing down in LA. You might clean it out real well to not attract rodents. I put some dryer sheets in mine all over the place to at least neutralize the smell. Either pull the battery or disconnect the neg. cable. Some like to wash and wax right before storing so the wax will protect the paint.
If you're gonna put the car on blocks, you might consider putting the blocks under the tires instead of the frame; if you have it raised, the shocks, etc are exposed in a way in which they aren't meant to be and I've read that's not good on them. Flat spots on the tires should go away after driving, if that's your concern.
