20 years, an awful long time. First thing, all the fluids are ancient, and have probably broken down. If the car is decent and you plan on running it yourself drain everything before you attempt to start it.
Drain the gas from the tank. All Volvos have a large drain plug on the bottom of the tank. By the condition/smell of the gas, you'll get an idea of what's in the carb (s). You may want to add some fuel cleaner to the fuel you add since there may be gum/varnish/crud in the rest of the system. Put some oil in the carb dashpots.
Make sure there's some fluid in the rad. Wouldn't bother changing that until you know the rest is OK.
You must drain the oil, fill it with cheap 5w30, remove the spark plugs and crank it over until you've got oil pressure. This is a must if you don't want to ruin the engine.
Will it start? If the stars are aligned in your favour, yes. Make sure you've got spark and fuel. Ignition points and condensers usually fail first. Fuel pumps can be difficult. Clutch or pilot bearing can seize so make sure it's in neutral.
Lots of stuff to check. Volvos are generally overbuilt with quality products. Go through things methodically and find a knowledgable friend to keep you from straying too far off target. Post some pix of your find.
