We ended up taking the oil pressure sensor out and just pouring some oil into the hole in the block where it screws in. It looked like it was right above the oil pump, so we figured if we poured oil in there, it had to end up back at the oil pump, and sure enough, it did.
Replaced the sensor, cranked it over for about 20 seconds, and BAM. Oil Pressure!
Spent another 45 minutes or so installing spark plugs, routing and connecting vacuum hoses, connecting the coil pack and plug wires, topped it off with oil and coolant, plugged the fuel pump back in...said a little prayer....turned the key, and she started right up. We even managed to get the cam position sensor in right, I think, because the thing runs like a top.
Drove it down the road and filled up with gas, then drove it back to Jeff's. We need to do some brake work on it now, but that's pretty cheap and very easy comparitively. Gonna drop it off at another friend's tomorrow to recharge the AC, then I'll get her inspected and we'll be all done. I'll put up some more pics at some point. There's really not much left to see. It's exactly like watching the tear down, only in reverse.
