IP throttle shaft reseal with IP still mounted on engine has been done many times successfully in the past.

And at least one time unsuccessfully (by me). Inadvertently overly stressed the governor cage while attempting to keep it hooked up when manuvering the cover into position. Didn't fail immediately, but several months later the car stalled on the freeway, was difficult to restart, and would die above idle. The spring cage had broken.

I like the method Tom Bryant devised: a throttle shaft extension tool allowing better access and ability to make the internal connections. Keeps things better aligned and non-stressed when re-fitting the top cover.
