How/was the car prepped before going into storage?
In general, I'd assume all the fluids- brake, fuel, coolant, oil- are bad and change them (along with any filters).
Check tire pressure and charge the battery.
Disable the ignition (so the car won't fire) and crank the engine to build up oil pressure.
Then go for it.

i'd make sure the car has fluids, air in the tires, etc.
charge the battery, pull the plugs, crank until you see oil pressure. put plugs back in, and start it.
then you can change the fluids, and i like to check the TPS (they go walkabout), and just generally look over the car.
