There was none, so I plugged the fuel pump back in, and the coil wire, and it started on the first pull.
No leaks!
(Of course, I do have an oil-cooler gasket leak that's driving me crazy; your thread about changing the oil cooler seals without pulling the headers has inspired me to take on this chore after the holidays!)

You can definitely do the seals on the cooler without pulling the header, especially if you remove the PS pump. You'll have to configure sockets and extensions to remove the top 2 bolts. Re-installing those same bolts can be done from under the car if you have a buddy help guide the socket into place. If I can do it, anyone can. It just takes some patience. Good Luck!
