Changed Head Gasket - Coolant dripped on Block a Problem? 91 240 200 1991

Just changed the head gasket on my original owner 91 240. Here is my question - when I lifted the head, a small amount of coolant dripped on the block and cylinders. I dried it up real quickly, even used a wet vac to be sure. Any chance I caused a problem? This was the first time the head gasket had ever been changed - it had degraded and developed a small leak just aft of the water pump.

Thanks as always for the help. You guys limped me through my first timing belt/front seals/water pump recently..... amazing how easily you can get through the front of the engine the second time!
