not if you want it to last
just run the hose in a loop back to the pump for testing purposes

I take it that you have a vee belt drive.
If you can't check the alignmet with it stationary, I dont see how running it will help.
The fluid is used to lubricate the pump, so running without is going to cause some damage.
