Installing 4kq front crank oil seal

I'm reinstalling the oil pump on my '85 4kq.
I can either first install the front crank oil seal into the pump housing, coat the crankshaft with oil, and then install the pump, or, first install the oil pump and then install the crank oil seal.

I don't have the tool that inserts the oil seal to the proper depth, but prolly have some plastic pipe of the proper diameter to drive in the seal.

I'd rather first install the seal into the pump housing so that I can ensure it's at the proper depth.

Pro/con advice for either way?

Thanks.
