Starting engine that hasn't been started in 3 years.

Was given an 85 that hasn't been driven in three years. Was supposed to have been driving well when it was put up, before the owner died. Housed for all this time in a garage.
What should I do to prepare the engine, gas, electronics, etc. before I try to start it? What should I be wary of? A friend said take the plugs out and squirt some oil in the cylinder for a few days before cranking. Is that necessary?
Thanks for your insights.
