I'd baby it for a few miles, what I mean is pay attention to how hard you hit the gas and how suddenly you accelerate immediately after braking. Basically try to keep your oil pressure as level and steady as possible, don't surge it this will help the seals stay intact while you put miles on and hopefully they will get reconditioned a little.

As far as getting it running smoothly again, try removing and cleaning the Idle Air Bypass mounted on the side of the throttle body, that can be responsible for rough idle. Also you can try cleaning the MAF sensor very gently. If there is any old gas in it that could be causing you a problem, some octane booster may help. Even simple things like a new air filter could help.

The very best thing you can do for the car is take it easy for awhile and let it come back to life. Also expect things to fail, like the wiper motor, fan clutch, A/C compressor, these are very common problems due to a car sitting for awhile.

Hope I helped
