We just did that on my friends (my old car) 86 GT, I'm pretty sure I've done it a few times before also. When I was putting my motor together last week I figured I'd leave the oil pump shaft out until for a while so it wouldn't fall out everytime I turned the engine upside down, but luckily I looked at the shaft and realized it needed to go in first before I put the oil pan on and put it in the car, that would have been a b*tch to get in then.
