Want to check the oil pump operation was created by lukeh

I have read what I can find about the autolube system, I think I understand the basic principle. However before I run this motor excessively, I would like to verify that the crank is getting oiled. I have not seen a way to verify that.
Should I just assume that as long as it pushes oil up to the intake that it is also pushing to the crank? I'm not sure I have that much faith

I would also like to see a diagram of the oil lines. I see there is a chain oiler pipe that comes out the back of the transmission. And mine has the line from the pump feeding in to the cylinder directly, not in to the intake.

This is a resto with unknown history, last tag was 1984 and I have no idea if it has run since then. Though it did arrive with plenty of heavy boat style 2T oil in the tank.
