also gotta figure out (with everyone's help) how to start it without a dash or wiring harness in place.

Pretty simple, same as car thieves "hot wired" cars in the day. A jumper from the battery hot terminal to the coil terminal that would have gone to the ignition switch and of course a wire from the other coil primary terminal to the distributer will provide the ignition, though w/o the benefit of the ballast resister. If you're going to run it for any length of time, then jump to the ballast resistor. Then use another jumper to activate the starter solenoid.
