I've read that if the lobe on the ip is pressed against the lift pump, it can make removal and reinstall difficult.

did you face any challenges?
It is hard to tell if the sprig is compressed when the Lift Pump is on the Fuel Injection Pump.
However, you will know if it was under spring tension when you remove it.

If it was under spring tension when you removed it it is a good idea to crank the Engine till then cam lobe that actuates the Lift Pump is at the lowest spot.
When the Engine is being cranked keep you finger out of the hole. When stopped you can carefully insert your finger and see where the came lobe is.
Or use a mirror to view it.

When you are done you will need to ad a little makeup oil.
