As mentioned before, the rotor arm is aligned with respect to the distributor body. It is of no consequence really, how the shaft is oriented, so long as the rotor is aligned to the timing mark on the dizzy. The issue with being approximately 180degrees out is simply one of proper routing, and to some extent, reach, of the various cables. Irrespective of the position of the engine when you start, this will overcome most of the issues.

However.
If the engine were aligned for the static timing to be checked, beforehand, then this would make things even easier.
