Two schools of thought there - the cheap way and the right way.
You can soak the cylinders with ATF for a day or two - pound the pistons with a block of wood and a mallet to get them moving.
With the pistons in place, grind out all the corrosion with a cylinder hone.
Put it all back together and it'll probably run fine for years, depending on how you use it.
The thing is - if you're thinking of replacing everything anyways - running the old stuff into the ground isn't a bad thing. Might as well get a few more years out of it until there's nothing left.
But - on the other hand - if you're going to replace it in the future anyways, you're only pushing the cost down the road, not avoiding it. So - since you've got it apart now, might as well just do it right and you've got an engine that you probably won't ever have to worry about again.
