Pull plugs & squirt 1 tablspoon(roughly) into.... (archive)

the piston chamber directly to pre-lube, then do as below,this will save the rings and gouging of walls if any rust built up from condensation, adding fresh oil will lube head/valves which might have binded as well. When dumping the coolant, flush w/hose till runs relatively clear, then refill, it'll free any sediment that most likely is going to clog holes, as well as pulling thermo and working it by hand, sediment can freeze it. Also as this guy said add an additive to gas, use a water asorber as even dumping the tank, theres water separation in pump&lines. fresh plugs might be needed to get it to start.

I'm no expert but, here goes. You should dump the fluids, check all rubber parts, watch out for a stuck thermostat, spray a little light oil in the intake and work the motor back and fourth. remove the plugs and crank it to expell the oil. dump the fuel and change filter's add an additive and fill it up. check the rubber fuel line condition. New battery, check belts, hoses, coolant, FIRE IT UP AND SEE WHAT YOU GET!
The broken bolt: to repair or replace, The part its not too expensive. But to repair, remove it and find the bolt center and make a punch mark, drill with a variable speed job and spray a little oil to cool it, use a small bit and go slow and stay straight in the center. penetrate the bolt shank and gradually increase dia bits till it is very thin. get an easy-out and remove it. If it is too frozen ,keep drilling to the bit size just under the hole size and clean it out and re-tap threads. If you hosed it up a bit use a heli-coil or an insert. Go for it.
