Punctuation? So your car is overheating and no heat comes out from the vents and the car has been in storage for two years.

Replace your coolant and make sure you bleed it right. Fill it the radiator to the top, unbolt that bolt on the manifold, jack the car up as high as you can, start the car and get yourself a sandwich and let all of the bubbles come out

You have to burp this cooling system. Jack car up in front as high as you can possibly get it. My tail pipe was almost touching the ground last time I did it. Take cap off and place a funnel in rad filled with coolant. let it run about 20 min. keeping funnel filled with coolant. I know it sounds strange, I didn't believe it would cure my problem when I was told this as being a long time wrench turner I had never heard of doing this before. It cured my identicle problem to your though.
