When the oil light comes on while idling, that shouldnt hurt anything too much. If it were under a load, like DRIVING, then that would be bad.
If its still smoking the ATF is probably not completely burned off. Especially if its been sitting that long. It needs a good run to clean it out. A few redline runs and some good "spirited" driving (between 3500-6000). Make sure shes ready for it, check the cooling system and fan clutch.
