In MY opinion:
I would pull the heads and check the condition of the cylinders, rotate the crank to check where the rings have rested against the walls for all those years.

Then I would pull and soak the lifters while I checked the rest.

Then pull the oil pan and check the bottom end for any moisture damage that could be cleaned up, pull the oil pump and prime it for a bit.

Pull and most likely replace the water pump.

Reassemble and go at it if all looks good.

IMHO only, OR roll the dice and watch the mess.
