I mean if you are laying one up, how do you go about ensuring you won't have crap build up?

I'd guess change out brake fluid, new M1 oil, new coolant and drain the gas/run it until it stops would be my bet...

If it has sat outdoors for a few years, part it out. Sell what you can off it, scrap the rest. It will just be one pain after another. Destine to be
one of those project, that just keeps on taking.

What should you do? Pinch off the fuel supply and let it drain, or is there
a drain on it?

Put in 5 gallons of fresh premium, charge the battery, add a full bottle
of RedLine or Shell Tekron injector cleaner (the others don't work as well) and jumper the fuel pump relay for an hour or so. This will flush the fuel distributor and the lines of the slime from the dead gas (mostly detergent
and other additives, the gasoline is long gone).

Then try to start it. Probably run like crud for a while until the fresh gas gets all the way down the injector lines. Once it runs fairly well, drive it to the gas station and fill it up. Should be OK unless the fuel distributor diaphragm has acquired corrosion holes and it floods out. That is the main reason you should never let a K-Jet sit with dead gas in it, it
often kills the fuel distribultor.
