ressurecting a sleeping beast..need help/advice

I'd pull the plugs and use compressed air to blow back through the intake by finding one with the intake valve open. If you see any new debris coming out the carb opening, remove it and inspect the debris to see what it is. If it's nothing large or hard, I'd rotate the engine by hand and see if there are other runners with debris in them and do the same thing. If the engine won' turn over by hand, squirt some oil in each cylinder and try again. Once you've removed what you can, crank it over with the starter until the oil light goes out (or pressure comes up on the gauge). Put the plugs back in, throw on a carb, fill it with gas from a primer can, check the fluids, and fire it up. If it's a smoker, you're not going to hurt anything as you'll be taking it apart anyway. You just want to get it to your house to do the serious work. Use a small gas can under the hood for the fuel supply so you don't have to worry about the gas tank and lines at this point. Just run a hose out of the gas can and into the inlet of the fuel pump. Secure the gas can off to the side and away from heat or spark. If there is no room under the hood, set it on the front bumper and bungie it to the grille. Unless the engine oil is particularly dirty or thin, I'd leave it in there. No point in changing it now just to drain it out during the rebuild a 1/2 mile later. Make sure you have brakes before you take off!
