Just a couple questions

So I've been driving my 928 for a couple months now and i finally have some time to fix a few of the issues I have. I went through and replaced the timing belt and the engine looks and seems to run pretty good. I`ll just list some of the things ive noticed while driving it.
-It does idle high when I'm in neutral, but once I'm in in drive it idles perfect. Other than being really shaky.
-The power steering whines a lot and very loudly, I filled it up with new fluid and replaced the belt but those did not help.
-I'm not sure if this is just the cold weather, but it warms up very slowly. I believe its because the radiator fan is always on but i could be wrong. I`d leave it running for 15-20 minutes before leaving in the mornings and it would barely warm up at all.
-I've noticed that when it does warm up it runs a lot better but it feels like there are some performance issues. On takeoff it likes to go really slowly even with my foot to the floor then it suddenly picks up and goes.
-When i do try and give it a little gas trying to pick up speed or go up a steep hill it shakes really bad, and barely gets any faster.
-It still shifts pretty hard too, even after filling it with more transmission fluid and replacing the filter. Also it doesn't shift until i let off the gas unless it hits 4-5000 rpm.
-My windows, front wipers, sunroof, and brake lights don't always work. They used to work all the time but not rarely ever do. I'm getting 14-14.5 volts at the battery but if it sits for more than a day without being driven the battery is dead.
-My sunroof when its working will turn and open by hand but the little rubber piece that connects the motor to what turns to open it is ripped and I'm not sure how to find a new one or fix it some other way.
-lastly the rear wheel bearing needs to be replaced, I already have the parts i just need to know if there's anything different from any other car to look for or do when i change it.
If anyone can help me fix these problems that`d be great. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Oh and i forgot to mention the car is an `85 auto and I'm located in West Des Moines Iowa
