Starting LT1 Independantly

Im buying a 1996 caprince LT1 this weekend, and i just wanted to know how i could check to make sure it works. Is it possible to start the engine while its out of a vehicle?

He is selling me the engine (s) with a computer and he says its complete. But id imagine id have issues with the lack of fuel pump.

Please tell me if its possible to start it, if not, i may have to settle for a compression test.

If i can only do a comp. test, what sort of compression am i looking for?
