How important is priming the oil pump?

Because my BBC is installed so far back, It would be impossible to remove the dizzy completely and prime the oil pump. I assembled the motor over a year ago with a high grade assembly lube on everything. Could I not just splash some oil on top of the heads, and crank the motor w/o ignition to allow the oil pump to do the work on its own before firing it? I'd really rather not have to pull the motor - but I will if I need to.

Thanks
