i would check the water and oil levels and be careful moving it as the brakes might have stuck a bit to the discs,the battery might have gone a bit flat as well so check that also.
don't rev the engine straight away , let the oil ciculate around the engine for a minute first.
keep foot on the clutch when starting
remove the lead from the coil to distributor, then turn the engine over on the key till the oil light goes out. Then reconnect the lead and start it up.
The oil in the engine will drop to the sump over 13 weeks, and by doing this you will preoil the valve gear, so it wont run dry.
