I'd be careful with what you do as it's very difficult to clean out a chain.
I soak in Diesel, move the chain by hand (hammer in a vice if really frozen) to free it up. Once I get it mostly freed up I run it on the implement spraying with WD40 or a Diesel/ATF mix to free it up more.
Then more soaking hand moving and cleaning in Diesel to really free it up and get as much of the rust our as I can. The more grit you can get out the better as it's like sandpaper in the individual links.
Then in to AFT to make sure it's as lubricated as much as possible. I finish with a heaver oil - coat and work in as best as possible.
Life will be short but hopefully will work for a while.
