That was my first thought also. Hopefully it didn't leak any coolant into the cylinders, and if only water
was used I hope it never froze. I only used 50% antifreeze both for freeze and rust protection, as well as a good lubricate for the water pump bushing in the rear.
I see someone added a tension strap for the generator. It isn't needed, as the belt doesn't need to be very tight. I also see that someone used an early rear end plate (ball bearing) on a late generator Mid 1930-1931. You can just leave it if you want, but since the car has not been used for so long, it wouldn't hurt to polarize the generator. After the battery is installed with + ground, then just take a short wire and jump across the two terminals on the cutout for one second, then start the car.
