Maybe you need to climb in there and look at it a bit harder. The basic
engine type is cast onto the side of the block (B30). If it has fuel injection
it will probably be a B30E and if not, a B30A. If it does have FI, you will
need a different distributor (that has the points for the injection system
in the bottom).

Some B30 parts are a bit harder to find than corresponding B20 parts,
however pistons, rods, seals, valves, etc are the same.

The problems of it not running for a while will be chiefly confined to
the fuel system, and they will be different for carbs and for FI.
Since you have an auto tranny, you WON'T have the problem of the clutch
plate rusted to the flywheel, like I did with the 1973 164 I had stored
in Charleston, SC for US vacations when I lived in Panama.
