I'd be a bit concerned about the seals in the tranny if it has been sitting for 10 years...it would probably be a good idea to have it gone through and resealed...even if it had fluid in it...the fluid would not have circulated so the seals and clutches that were not emersed in fluid may have a partial dry-rot condition and you only need one weak spot for the tranny to go "blewy"...the modulator is probably history too considering it has a rubber diaphragm inside.

This is how I built my tranny...this might give you some ideas:
