Thanks for the informative responses!
It sounds like the consensus is that as long as the instrument is in storage, that no oil will be needed.
I like everyone's idea about just running a swab through the instrument with bore oil once I remove the instrument from storage. Is there any possibility (given it's history of no oil in the past 35 years) that doing so will make the inside swell while the outside remains ridged though (possibly causing a crack)?
Our humidity is roughly 15%, so mold isn't a concern. Also, I've never experienced any type of bug or mite here. For storage, I'm pretty lucky with the climate provided by this region.
Ken, there's two main reasons I don't take the clarinet out and play it (even though I'd love to):
1. I find it difficult to play Boehm right now...and it is Boehm.
2. I've been fearful that by putting it in a cycle of play/storage, that it might be harder on the instrument than if I were to just let is "stay dry" 
Thanks again for the answers (keep 'em coming if there are other thoughts or questions/explanations!)
