Car sitting for 2-3months. Tips before firing engine?

We had a family member who was in a bad car wreck. The car (not the wrecked one) sat in a semi heated garage for well over 2 years. The tires lost about 15 psi each and the battery died. Got a new battery installed and the thing fired right up on the 2nd crank. Probably would of fired on the first if I held it longer. It ran a bit rough and set a code. The code never came back after being cleared and the car driven a few hundred miles. Not bad for 2+ year old gas. The car was a mid 90's impala ss (the old body style).
