Engine Has Not Been Run For Year And A Half. I Got Questions

I have been doing major rust repair on my car for the past year and a half or so. Im going to be changing these fluids gas, oil, trans, radiator.

I had the gas tank/ fuel lines out (did not want to blow my self up). So i need to know how to get fuel back to engine. I dont know if all i have to do is turn the key to get the pump going.

Also is there any thing i need to do to the engine its self, or to any part of the car really? Like plugs or wires, or should they be fine? They are not very used, may be like 200 miles on them, but have been sitting this hole time.

Also I will be changing the fuel filter/oil filter/air filter/pcv filter

Thanks in advance, CoR

The pump will get going when you try to start the car. Aside from changing the oil and fuel filter there is not much you should worry about doing.
