Always a lot of debate on this - you probably CAN just put some automatic transmission fluid in through the plug holes, let it sit for a while, then run it like nothing ever happened.

I'm personally a fan of pulling the head and lightly using a cylinder hone on whatever's visible in the cylinders if there's enough rust to justify doing this (which there probably is)
Then wipe it all clean, dump in some atf - let it sit - then try tapping the pistons down with a block of wood and a heavy hammer to free them up. Clean everything as much as possible and reasemble. (use a new head gasket)

Whatever way you go - be sure to change the oil a couple of times soon after starting it to get rid of all the junk.

One argument for going the easy route without removing the head is that the engine's so old it's going to have to be rebuilt sooner or later anyways. Taking a few miles off the cylinder walls probably isn't going to mean much in the grand scheme of things. They do use sleeves, so you're not hurting anything that isn't going to be replaced anyways.
