Car cranks and idles perfectly but hasn't been run in several years until I finish restoration (couple of months hopefully). Is this going to cause me any problems?

Read your Ford shop manual. The arrangement is always according to crankshaft rotation because it aids rather than opposes airflow through the engine. The only time its reversed is for reverse rotation engines (e.g., some front wheel drive vehicles, marine engines, etc.) Yes, yours still works but not as well as it could.
