Lifter Noise on 305 - Replace lifters???

Hey Guys Whats up?
So this is whats happening. I stored my car all winter long and today I charged the battery and got her running. Now I have lifter noise. This isnt the first time i've heard it after it sitting all winter. but now I'm thinking maybe I should replace them ? Need help on what to buy and where to get the lifters. This is what I got

1991 Camaro RS 305TBI 700R4

What kind of lifters do I need ? What other parts will I need or should I replace while I'm having this done? Thanks

Did the lifters make noise before you stored it??

If they didn't, I'd try some motor flush, and change the oil. Sometimes valve springs will try to retain some "memory" if they've sat compressed for a long period of time. But that's kinda rare with hydralic lifters...

If I replace the lifters, is that all I should replace? Am I looking for Hydrolic lifters? Is there a specific kind I should get? Thanks

check that your motor oil level is right then warm it up and take it out on the highway for for a 65mph blast until they pump up.

Change the oil and filter... see what happens. You'd be surprised the problems that a simple oil change will fix.
