The best thing to do is drain the oil and fit a oil filter as well.Put a cap full at the most of oil down the cylinders and wind the motor over by hand a few times to oil up the bores.
Remove the rocker cover and fill with new oil while covering the cam,rockers and chain etc in oil then refitt rocker cover.
As you said new plugs and points if needed.
If it's got a elec pump then pump up the fuel first or if not the use a bottle with fresh fuel so it doesn't have to drag it from the tank.
Then hopefully when all is done it should go first time.Good luck.
What sort of car and engine btw?
