Starting up an old engine?

Going to be starting up an old engine that's been sitting around for a while. Pulled the plugs and lubed the walls, changed the oil, will crank it till I see oil pressure then let it rip.


Anything else I should consider doing?


I won't have any coolant in the block, it's mounted on the chassis but I don't have a radiator plumbed yet. Do you think there is any concern starting a motor with no coolant in it? I probably won’t let it run but for 30 sec - a min., I just want to hear it run.
