Yeah, change/flush all fluids, replacing all the rubber bits (engine seals, hoses, etc.) is needed, make sure that your rubber high pressure lines to the brake calipers (and slave cylinder) are good. Take your gas tank off and have it dipped bc after two years of gas just sitting in there, you're guaranteed to have some nasty gunk inside. You may have to get a new tank. Do the same with the radiator as well (it will probably need to be dipped). If you didn't pull the spark plugs and put about a teaspoon of oil in the cylinders before you let it sit, go ahead and do that about a day or so before you start the engine up. it might still help esp. if the cylinders have developed some rust over the past 2 years. Also, be prepared to change out the headgasket as well. I let a car sit for about a year and half once, and even though it started right up with a fresh battery, it started leaking oil out of all of the gaskets and seals soon afterwards, including the HG bc the material had degraded. Oh, and go ahead and test as much of the wiring for continuity (body and engine) as you can since the car is apart. You could have had something chew through a wire or such.
