If the motor has oil in it and you have not striped or rebuilt the motor or the oil pump you will be fine just using the manual priming tool,no need to pack the oil pump unless you have stripped it down. Packing the pump stops any air pockets causing lack of oil to circulate,so once you have primed yours you should be good to go,
