Steph,
I think your biggest concern will be rodents scampering up the open coolant
hoses and making a nice comfy den in the water jacket! I would suggest
capping the upper and lower hoses or block openings with rodent-proof
material. You'll probably get some "skin rust" internally from normal
moisture/condensation in the barn but it shouldn't be an issue.
Good luck with the cleaning.....
