I would pull the plugs, squirt oil in and let her sit a bit with the plugs loosely back in. Roll her over one complete rev with handcrank w/o rotor to ensure a valve isn't stuck. Then, before starting up, pull the plugs and crank her w/o distr cap to get oil pump to lube the galleys and bearings as they have drained and are dry. I drained about 3 gallons of water from my rear axle when changing fluid. It takes a lot of oil to fill the rear end. I flooded the top pan indentations with penetrating oil to get it worked down into the bolts for future use. Also might want to check for debris (cobwebs, ratsnests,etc) in intake track so you don't suck in bad stuff.
