Should I try to start it

I was going to follow all the advice above too, but when I got my dad's dart home after it sitting for 4 years I couldn't resist so I replaced the battery, shot some starter fluid in the carb, and cranked it over. To my surprise it fired right up. I expected it to die, (figured old gas, clogged filters and lines, and dried out carb gaskets) but to my surprise, it just kept running, good oil pressure, no smoke.

I say minimal prep, and crank that bad boy over.
