Not me, I like seeing those old bike get used.
If you want to use a set of square taper 3 piece cranks, use this to convert the bottom bracket:

and then a 68mm Shimano Un-54 bb (spindle width depends on the cranks you use):

For the wheels, the frame is 120mm rear axle spacing, 700C wheels will fit fine, the rear brake may be a little short. You can file the pad slots or go with a longer brake.
Stem is 0.833 or 21.1mm, you can keep the stock stem and use 1" bars, there are replacement stems but they're more for old farts wanting to raise the bars up 10".
