Starting engine question

I would like to start my 58' so I can pull it out of the barn to do some work on it outside but I have already removed the wiring harness and everything from the dash. This is probably a dumb question, but is it possible to start it without the harness, and if so how would I go about that. Thanks

Re: Starting engine question

Thanks booger1949. It worked out great. It took a while though cause I could not figure out why it was turning over but not starting. I guess its important you add gas. I forgot I had taken the gas tank out a while ago and put the seat back in , so I didnt see it was missing.
