IAC = idle air control, what it does is compensate for load on the engine like when the AC is on, when you activate the power steering by turning, basically the computer senses no load on the engine, and "thinks" that the engine is being loaded up so compensates for it thats all.
alternators are ok on commodores actually. the regulators die on them quite often, up, at 750rpm in neutral you should see ~14.1v charging.
202km....my suggestion would be to pull the throttle body off and get out the carby cleaner and give the plastic plenum and all the throttle body a good clean up...
failing that, there is a screw on the throttle body (idle stop screw) which you can adjust to bring up the idle a wee bit - its a bastard to get to tho (you need a precision screwdriver (small) to get to it.
other things to look for at that age, make sure the auto shifts to reverse quickly, that it doesn't slip or slur gears (the kickdown cables are adjustable and a PITA) check for rear main leaks - the VP's are better as they have the neoprene seal not the fucking shit rope type like the series 1 and series 1.5 VN's....about all that comes to mind, hope this helps 
hope this helps.
