If you have an original block mounted fuel pump, it is mechanically driven off the camshaft and will not pump unless the motor is turning over. You could probably splice in an electric fuel pump in the line coming from the tank and run that with a battery to pump the old gas out of the tank into gas cans. Very dangerous to do so due to explosion possibility. You would be safer taking somewhere to a pro who could pump the tank out, drop it, clean it out and see what the inside looked like.
