Fresh build, sitting for months, will the assembly lube still prevent dry start?

Fresh build, sitting for months, will the assembly lube still prevent dry start?
I have a built 2.3 that has been put together several months ago ( I think January, but work picked up and had to put my project aside). I ran into some unexpected delays in getting the motor into the car and fired up. My question is this, how long can the motor sit with assembly lube before I risk dry starting the motor? Is it dependent on what assembly lube was used? I do plan to prime the pump by drill before placing the motor into the car.

Prime the pump, and a squirt of oil into each cylinder won't hurt either...

Just thought I would add - Don't forget to put the timing belt back on before you rotate the Motor after rotating the oil pump with the drill motor. Hmmmm - the valves vs pistons thing / Cam timing!!!!
Might be obvious to some but you never know.
