Default Re-starting my Del Sol

I have a 93 SI that has been sitting for almost a year, and I want to get it running again. Besides checking the battery and plugs, what else is needed to get it in drivable condition ? Any help will be appreciated . . . .

I would drop the tank and pour the gas out, and get a new fuel filter and of course do a basic tune up.

Oil, plugs,wires,cap,rotor,fuel filter,check the gas.

My older brother my dad started our fire bird that had been stiting for almost 14 years ont he old gas and it ran like a champ.

and when it comes time to start the car, stop it from starting and crank a couple times to get some oil moving. Dry starts are bad.

EDIT- did it have coolent in it when it was parked? if it gets cold enough the water in the block will freeze, which isnt good.
