Removing and cleaning the pan is even a better plan.
Probably wouldn’t hurt to pull, clean, and reset the cam tensioners while you’re at it. Could also pull the oil pressure regulator valve assembly for inspection and cleaning. Speaking from personal experience you’ll never know what corrosion and gunk buildup you can run into with an engine that has been laid up for a long time. Better to discover and correct it before lighting wick again.
