I think doing as little as possible is probably the best way to go.
Right now I've got what amounts to a 260 word info-dump moment in scene two. All the stuff in that section handles the things that are dependent from book #1 to book #2, so right now I feel like I need it. My plan is to scatter that information out across the early scenes, dolling it out in drips and drivels when the characters involved are "on screen."
Come draft #2, I will probably rip it all out, but for now I feel like I need it in the novel.
