I think it depends upon what you are trying to achieve. You could take the quick approach, and use IDL function graphics and see if that is what you want:

Assuming that your image coordinates are in "degrees" (since you said unprojected):

m = MAP( "Mollweide", LIMIT=[latmin, lonmin, latmax, lonmax] )
im = IMAGE(mydata, IMAGE_LOCATION=[lon0, lat0], $
IMAGE_DIMENSIONS=[widthLon, heightLat], $
GRID_UNITS="degrees", /OVERPLOT)
c = MAPCONTINENTS( )
m.Save, "map.pdf"

You will need to fill in appropriate values for latmin, etc.
Hope this helps.
