If the car had something failing prior to you doing the head gasket (like the HG failed, and you were buring oil / coolant), I'd run the car for a while (like a week or two?) normally to make sure EVERYTHING is burned out of the exhaust.
I made this mistake once on a Honda. Changed a motor out and the new motor smoked as badly as the first once warm, which had a blown head gasket. After using a small drillbit, and drilling a 1/8" hole in the bottom of the rear muffler, I drained approx. 1.5qts of coolant that had been pumped through the exhaust system. After that, no smoke.
Run it a while and recheck things.
