After a car sits that long the gas separates and the "schlaque" sinks to the bottom of the gas tank, I would drop the gas tank and flush everything out this should solve the problem.

fresh gas, fresh plugs , typical stuff...make sure you do a fuel filter

if you unplug the inertia switch in the trunk...then start the car and let it die...it will get rid of most of the pressure in the fuel system...then when you R&R the fuel filter...you won't get sprayed so bad, cycle the key on/off about 4-6 cycles total (when you hear the pump run then stop) after you put fresh gas in to get the new filter primed and it'll start right up.

congrats...shouldn't be a problem for you....clean the maf screen and tb w/ some brake cleaner too....maybe the iac but it should be fine.
