try bleeding em first, obviously you will need to check the seals for damage/wear/leakage!
a thorough brake check is one of the first things i do to a car, usually replace the brake lines as a matter of course aswell!
pads are also a deffo replace as they could be worn or brittle with age! for the sake of a few quid its a worthwhile task!!

What Gav says is right, but a small helper might be to press the brake pedal all the way down, and use a nylon tiewrap or spmething to keep it down overnight, the day before they're being bled. This should allow air to percolate back up the lines.

:welcome2: to the asylum 
It's not a huge job to overhaul the whole thing! Seals, pistons, pads, pipes.... do a search if you don't know what you're doing, and FFS don't drive it til your stoppability is as good as it can get!!!
