Default First start after rebuild

I'm getting nervously close to starting my engine and want to do it with the least wear on internal parts. It was assembled with assembly lube on bearings, etc. I have the "95%" oiling system and will fill the filter with oil. My plan is to turn the engine with plugs out until I get oil pressure. I filled the oil pump gears with assembly lube. Will I gain anything by pouring oil down the galley going to the pump from the top? Seems as if most of it will run out the pick up tube. Anything I've missed?
