I'm So Damn Mad At Myself!

Well I set aside this weekend to get the engine internals including sealing the case halves done. To make it even more inviting, we have a blizzard outside right now so there is not much else to do other than shovel snow. Everything moving along nicely until time to install the flywheel seal. Except I don't have a flywheel seal. Apparently the rebuild wizard missed this step in the ordering process (along with the oil pump seals, but I ordered them separately). So now things have ground to a halt on Saturday morning. I placed the order (and am paying out the ass for 3-day shipping), but now I am tempted to install the crank and just install the flywheel seal after the case halves are mated. Wayne's rebuild book shows installing the flywheel seal on the crank when installing the crank, but in the past I have replaced flywheel seals without splitting the cases. What says the collective? Should I just be patient and wait for the seal to arrive or move ahead and install the flywheel seal after the case halves are mated?
