Lots of good suggestions have been made. I will add a few more.
If the brakes were set they may be rusted tight, see if you can roll the rear tires forward and backwards with the brakes released. Same with the clutch if it was not blocked, check that it releases when the pedal is pushed in. Maybe pass a dollar bill between closed points in the distributor to clean any corrosion off the contacts. Check for stuck valves, spark from the distributor.
Check fluid levels in radiator and engine oil. Crack the drain plug on both the engine oil pan and the transmission to drain out water condensation before they get stirred up. Shine a flashlight into the fuel tank to see how much rust or crud might be in it, clean the screen in the fuel bowl. Maybe drain out any 30 year old gas and add fresh gas before trying to start it.
