oil pressure line - off?

hi - silly question but new to rebuilds.

I disassembled my interior to as I'm about to get some holes filled and primed and painted.

for the gauge panel - I had to remove the speedo line and oil pressure line to take it off. question is - to get it to the body shop - can i run it without the speedo and oil line hooked up?

no laughing please...well - a little is OK

It will pee on your leg if you don't cap the oil line. Speed not connected is ok.

Its ok to run it with the spedo disconnected.But do not start it up with the oil pressure line unhooked you will have oil squirting out.You will have to get a plug for the end.
