I would put in a battery, check the water and oil and fire it off. Some biocide in the tank is a good idea too in case there is some water there. Fuel and air filters are a good idea but not essential if they look decent. Before driving it any distance I would change the oil and all air and fuel filters, but if just starting it to see how it runs I would just do the first sentence. The brakes might be ok as is, if no calipers are stuck. The pads will wear off the rust on the rotors if they aren't too rusty. It will make some fuss though since were the pads are probably is fairly rust free.

Good luck.
