Yes, make sure the oil pump is working. I once bought a 40 Chev that had sat in an unheated barn for nearly thirty years and attempted to start it. Prior to the attempt I changed the oil and found a large amount of clear water in the oil pan, thirty or so years of condensation. Well fresh oil and she started on the first try and NO oil pressure. Upon removing the oil pan I found an oil pump that had been cracked by water freezing in the oil pan. When engines sit for extended periods you never know what you will find. I would definately crank it over without the spark plugs installed to check oil pressure and any odd noises before an attempt at starting.
