As mentioned, pump away. The filter area will begin to "hiss," and the pumping will get more difficult, once the CIRCULATING system is purged and primed. But you'll still have empty injection lines. You'll either need to crank it (while floored) or drag it (procedure in the owner's manual). If cranking, you'll be happier using the block heater and a set of jumper cables.
Do not be tempted to etherize (rhymes with "euthanize") it.
