All screens are the same to my knowledge. It is very easy to strip the 6 bolts on the plate.

I'd crank it. Turn it off and fill to just a hair below FULL. If your motor is sitting flat flat. Always make sure your vent hose out of the Alt stand is free flowing. Those ventilating pcv boxes stop up easy and make the case build up pressure and blow oil out of the crank pulley.

AC engines stock hold 4 quarts. External coolers and filters add about a quart to it. I would put 4 in before I started it up, let it run15-20 seconds to fill everything then recheck.
