To me to start the engine with all that debris and the work is nuts. Pun intended. Screw up that crank and you'll kick yourself.

Pull all of the plugs and at least try to crank it by hand first. Otherwise, you also take a very good chance of bending a rod. At the very least. If it cranks by hand, give it a go. Shop Vac, is your friend.
With what I have seen by tearing down old engines that have set for decades. I have seen some valves where the heads have broke from their stems. Valve seals all dried up and crumbled. Plastic timing gear ready to strip at fire-up. There is no way I would chance ruining a good core engine by trying to start it.
