I would leave anything off that you might need to access while the engine is
in the car. Often pre-assembly from the factory leaves clamps and screws
inaccessable once in the engine bay. Waiting may add more time, but save you
ffrustration down the road.

Final Question -- I'm pondering just how much other stuff to put back on 
before attempting to put the engine back into the car.  It would seem that 
leaving off the air pump, alternator, fan, and exhaust manifold will make it

that much easier to manuver the engine back into the car, and also to get to

the engine mounts.  

Any thoughts, particulary about leaving off the exhaust manifold at this 
point?  

And any last minute advice about re-installation also appreciated!
