Default Starting up a 92 Automatic, Safely & Correctly...How?

**SORRY I REPOST THIS TWICE, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A MUCH BETTER FAN-FAVORITE PLACE TO DISCUSS CORVETTE EVERYTHING***

"I've had my 92 LT1 Automatic sitting in limbo and I would like to start it up. Unfortunately it sat outdoors so it took about 4 years of California weather.

I would like to fire her up but it do it the right way. I've always known after a certain amount of time, attempting to just start it up is actually bad, am I right?

What are some things I should before hooking up a new battery and cranking it up? Clean tubes? Exchange filters? Flush?
I'm a big newbie/rookie but always up for the challenge...its been sitting there its the most I can do at this point...."
