Two months or so isn't much of an issue assuming it had oil etc. in it.
If you are worried about the lubrication, remove you plugs and crank it until you get oil pressure. Then put the plugs in it and run it.
Even if you don't do that, just start it and let it run at low rpms for a few minutes and you should be fine. It's not a good idea to let them set like this a lot, but I wouldn't worry about it.
On our race cars that set for 3 or 4 months each year, we simply fog the carb or air intake with WD-40 while cranking with no spark. This protects the upper cylinders and valve seats from rust.
