I have resurrected many engines that have sat for years and years with what appeared no ill effects, but it is always a bit of a crap shoot. too many scenarios to go into all the possible problems. but one thing you need to do is make sure that the engine fires quickly and circulates oil quickly cranking on a dry old motor is the recipe for disaster. Fuel tank and carburetor are also problems frequently on cars that have set for a long time. All old fuel and filters must be removed and replaced before starting.
