My car sat since atleast 1991 until i got it last year. I dropped the tank (im on a tight budget too) used acetone? however you spell it, ran some in the lines and blew them out with the air compressor and replaced the fuel pump and all of the rubber lines. Also put a good fuel filter on the car. My car runs now, im sure there are others that wouldnt agree with the way i did it but thats what i had to work with and my car runs happily.

Oh on a side note, might want to rebuild the carb if gas sat in that for 2 years.
