I think I've done it both ways on a '66, but I would suggest installing
it later, on the principle that the more maneuvering room you have, the
better. Not to mention less weight to hoist. And it's not difficult to
install it in the car. I went through 4 starters in 6 months when I had a
bad flywheel ring gear.

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
