John,

Your biggest worry should be the condition of the pistons inside the automatic transmission after sitting that long. There is a very good chance the tranny will slip until warmed up. It's a fairly common malady on these transmissions.

Good luck,

Jeff

Sounds like the way to go.

Thanks for all the other tips too.
