I was kind of a newbie. I left my '74 for 8 years once. Instead of risking anything, I flatbedded it to a knowledgable shop and told them the situation. They went through it - draining gas, changing oil, flushing this and oiling that BEFORE installing a battery and turning it over. I think they even got oil pressure before firing it. I think it was $300 well spent, especially considering some things I never thought of, like checking and topping off the tranny fluid (hmmm), freeing up the clutch (Double hmmm) and oiling and working the throttle and other cables to make sure it didn't stick WFO on first fire (triple hmmmmm!).

Just another option...
