drain and change the gas and change the oil
change the fuel, oil and air filter - this will force you to determine if animals, insects and rot have made a home in the engine
check for rodents and their homes in exhaust and intake - they like to park their nuts in the strangest of places
charge the battery to full capacity
crank it over with plugs removed and coil disconnected
turn engine over for 10- second bursts until oil pressure is built up and things are properly lubricated
start engine and let idle until fan cycles at least once and engine temp is reached
don't expect to be able to drive it if handbrake has been on and/or rotors are rusted badly - they might be stuck
I'd also change the AT fluid and brake fluid before driving
