Default Advice

Over the winter I have completed muerous little projects on the car most of which required the car to have the oil drained out of it or battery removed, IMS Guradian, skid plate, repainted battery tray and a few other things. The A&* end has been up on jack stands for most of the winter so I was always reluctant to start the car. Now I just got the mufflers back and will be ready to fire it up soon.
Any thoughts on the procedure I should use. Should I remove fuel pump fuse and turn over a few times to "pump up" oil pressure first before starting and letting is run?
Just wondering.
Thanks

My biggest concern would be the gas. Did you use Sta-bil?

Just fire it up. I let many of my cars go months or more at a time with never an issue.

I did us a form of fuel stab.

It was up on stands to take off mufflers,do IMS, replace sway bar bushings and links, Fuel filter, under body panels and some other things.
