It's good that you got the water out before cranking on it or starting it. Once it's emulsified in the oil it's impossible to drain it all out, has to boil out with engine temperature. Might want to check all the oil drains for water, good chance the gear cases will also have water in them. A lot easier to get it out now than later.
Like said, put oil in the cylinders for a day or two, spin it out before trying to start it.
If there is no compression on some cylinders, it probably has stuck valves. If so, take the valve cover off, get some oil down around the guides. Gently tap down on the valve, see if it will break loose. If that doesn't work try prying between the spring coils, get it moving, work it a few times, usually they will free up.
Be sure you have spark at the plug ends of the wires.
Be sure you have good clean fuel in the carb. There is a drain plug in the carb, with the fuel valve open, remove the plug, catch the flow in a clean glass. It should have a steady stream, not slow to a drip or stop. If no flow the float could be stuck or no fuel getting to the carb.
Look at what comes through. If water on the bottom of the glass, or cloudy, the tank is water contaminated and will need to be cleaned out. If dirty or rust chunks, best remove the tank and thoroughly clean it with E85 gas. If severely rusted, or starts leaking, it will eventually have to be replaced or repaired.
Fill the radiator with water, look for leaks before putting anti freeze in. Save money, and better to have water on the ground or in the engine than antifreeze.
Once fuel, spark, and compression is there, give it a try! If it will start immediately check the oil pressure. Sometimes the oil pump will loose prime when they sit. If so prime it bu pumping oil in through the oil pressure fitting.
Once running, put it through the motions, drive it around, look for problems, leaks, electrical issues, clutch and drive train, hydraulics.
Best find everything you can so if it has to come apart, you only go in once!
