I hope things were oiled up when it was assembled. You would know by taking off one rod cap end or main bearing, there should be a film of oil on it if it looks dead-dry, put the cap back on and do not rotate the motor. Just park it and get into it in the spring.

But do spray everything down with Mystery oil, it has something in it that is a mild rust preventative. I wouldn't worry about some packing fuzz, but a big piece could clog an oil passage. Look into a few places with a flashlight if it makes you feel better. You can lay a clean shop rag over the lifter galley and exposed cylinders which should keep out any dust or curious spiders.

Make sure you have an oil pan and timing cover on it as well. I used to wrap a clean shop rag around the end of the crank and put the cover and pan on with a few bolts loosely. Also lay a rag around the flywheel end of the crank too.
