I have a friend who just bought a bug and she doesn't know how to do any
work on it (am I am a bit clueless too).  I was hoping that someone could
help me out a little bit.

It is a 71 super beetle.

My understanding is that there is no oil filter.  Does that mean you just
change the oil and hopefully all the crap comes out then?

Points?  Are there points to replace?  Should she carry a spare set?  I
am clueless here.

Plugs and wires?  Anything special here.

What else should we do?
I know this is a load question but: What spare parts should she carry
around with her?

Thanks a ton for any help,
