GSL-SE 6P 13B Finding TDC?

How would a person go about finding TDC on a SE 6P 13B, when the front pulley is installed wrong?
I thought I saw it somewhere that the flat spot on the backside of the flywheel will be visible thru the inspection cover on the intake side of the engine. But, this brings up a new issue. The RB holley intake sits too close to the top bolt on this cover to get a socket on it.

I certainly don't want to go thru the major hassle of dropping the header, to watch for an apex seal to go by the front exhaust port.

So, is there another way to locate TDC, without tearing into the front of the engine, or dropping the trans, to see where the keyway(s) are pointed? That would be even more work than dropping the header.
