starting after storage

I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find much with the search option. Anyways I've had my car put away since late november and i decided not to start it every week because i don't have a garage and my block heater doesn't work. I read awhile back about the oil sitting in the bottom of the engine and that it should be circulated around before starting it. Just wanting some help on what to do.

Pull the sparkplugs and crank it over for a few seconds to circulate some oil. It should be fine.

just unplug your coil packs and crank it till you see some oil pressure on the gauge, then plug em back in and start it up.
