Default motor sat, replace seals?

my car has been down for about... 4 months, i drained all the oil out b/c i was running my return and feed lines. well, its been sitting for 4 months with no oil and hasnt been cranked up. well im bout done with it and im gonna try to fire it up this week, but someone told me that some of my seals could be dried out, like my crank seal, cam seals, valve stem seals, i dont know if i should worry about it. would sitting that long mess up my seals?

besides sitting for 4 months, how was it before? everthing in good condition? i think it would start right up. 4 months really is'nt that long. good synthetic oil FTW.
