You'll probably have no trouble but I would do the following first:
1. Drain and refill the oil and change the filter.
2. Loosen the drain plug but don't remove it all the way at first. If there is any water in the crankcase, it will be at the bottom of the pan and will drain out before the oil. Watch what seeps past the threads. You'll be able to tell right away whether it's water or oil.
3. Check and/or replace the spark plugs, wires, points, distributor cap, and rotor.
4. Drain all the fuel (if any) from the tank and refill it with fresh gasoline
5. Replace the fuel filter at the carburetor. I would also add a clear glass or plastic filter after the pump - even temporarily - so you can see if there is any rust or debris in the tank making its way to the carburetor.
6. Carburetor may be gunked up or varnished up after sitting so long but you'll be able to judge that after it is running and driving for a while. Spray it inside and out with carburetor cleaner.
7. Drain and refill the cooling system with water. After its running, you can flush it more thoroughly with water and refill it with proper coolant mixture.
8. While you have the spark plugs out, I'd squirt some oil into each cylinder to coat the cylinder walls. Remove the belts and turn the engine over with a wrench on the crankshaft to make sure it isn't seized up.
9. Then put it all back together and turn the key.
10. Completely drain and refill the brake system.
You can probably just start it without doing any of that but who knows what sort of conditions it lived in for two years? Better safe than sorry.
