If it's been sitting that long, then flush the entire fuel system, as well as the coolant system.
Assuming you are putting in a crate motor, everything else should be fine. Try and avoid using any of the ancillaries off the original motor (alternator, water pump, etc.) if you can afford it.

If it has sat for a long time Drain and clean out the fuel tank. any gas that was left in it has probably gone bad by now. flush the radiator and heater core. don't forget new belts and hoses. It wouldn't hurt to change the tranny fluid and filter. Also don't forget to check rear end grease, and brake fluid and brake hoses

Oh yeah, flush out the fuel system and the cooling system
